Welcome to 2nd - 3rd Grade!

Our adventure will take flight in just 2 weeks. Gear up for a fun year of “exploring” together. School starts Tuesday August 25th bright and early. I will provide all your learning materials. A backpack, water bottle (optional), lunch (or plan for school lunch), and a plan for afterschool is all you need for your school day that first week. Keep all your awesome back to school supplies at home and be thinking of using them to create your own “at home” work station. If you have any questions…email me.

As we make this annual transition back to school, I am sending you some information to mark on your calendar. I want to invite you to

Our 2nd-3rd Grade Meet and Greet.
When:  August 19th (next Wednesday evening) from 6-7 pm.              

What: This will be a fun way to come check out where your classroom will be, see your friends, and introduce your parents to your teachers. I plan to brief families quickly at the beginning about our schedule, homework expectations, and ways parents can help support the learning. If you can’t make it, email me and let me know.

First Day of School Breakfast
  When: August 25th First Day of School  8:30-9:00am.                           What: Morning beverages/ pastries/ fruit will be served 
There is no charge for this breakfast, however, donations are greatly appreciated.
I hope your summer break is full of fun, inquiry, learning, and rest. Maybe you have done some fishing, read a great book, hiked the Long Trail, spent time in the water, designed a robot, or went on a great trip? I can’t wait to hear all about it. Oh, and please….keep going, it’s not over yet! You have 2 full weeks of vacation still to be lived! Enjoy!

                                                                                      Cheers,
