Fall Newsletter

We have had a great first month of school!  Our class has been working hard and having fun.

We have enjoyed our weekly content areas.  Some of our favorites were outer space and the desert.  Next week is a review week, so there will be no spelling test.

Thank you for signing and sending your child's planner each day.  It is a great way for us to communicate.  Please continue to have your child read and practice their math facts.  Remember the goal for Kids' College is forty minutes a week for second grade.

Please send back homework on Fridays, even if it is done early.

We are reading Eric Carle books in class and studying insects.  We love The Honeybee and the Robber.

We had a good time with our buddy class, Ms. Salamon's sixth grade class.  We played addition bingo together.  The big kids were so sweet with our second graders.

We have been doing many apple activities in class.  We learned about Johnny Appleseed, made a book, tasted different varieties of apples, and made a graph.  We have done apple writing and apple art.

Book orders are due next Friday, October 12.  We'll try to have them here by Halloween.

Thanks so much for your help in class.  Please let me know if you have any question or concerns.  Remember there is no school this Monday.

We had a fabulous time on our field trip to the animal farm.  Enjoy the pictures!

We even got to feed them!


We're making ice cream.


It was delicious!

We had fun on the hay ride.




The horses were friendly.





What a great field trip!
