First few weeks in second grade!
Wednesday, August 17, 2022
Hello 2nd Grade Families!
Welcome to the 2022/ 2023 school year. I am really excited to meet all of the students and families in the coming weeks. Before we meet, here are few dates and some helpful information to pass along.
A couple dates to remember:
Tuesday, August 30th- First day of school!
Students should arrive between 8:10- 8:25 (the bell rings at 8:25 and ideally students are settled into classrooms at that time)
Monday, August 29th - Meet and Greet in the classroom, please drop by for a few minutes between 2-3pm, see the classroom and say hello!
Morning Procedures:
All students should arrive at school between 8:10-8:25 am; breakfast will be served in the classroom at 8:25. If your child needs to be dropped off before 8:10 they should go directly out to the playground. We ask that the children do not come to the classroom to drop off belongings before 8:10. Students should line up at the outside, back recess door when the bell rings.
Extra Clothes and Shoes:
In our class, we do spend quite a bit of time outside so proper footwear for walking into the forest is necessary. It would be helpful to send in a bag with a full change of clothes/shoes for your child. You may leave the bag of extra clothes and shoes at school for when it is needed.
Breakfast and Lunch
We continue to offer free breakfast and lunch for all students this year. We feel really fortunate to offer this and ask that you please take a few minutes each month to fill out the breakfast and lunch forms at home. Of course, you may still send your child in with a home lunch or have them eat breakfast at home. We do find most children like the option of having a school meal even if they plan to eat at/from home, so adding a school meal is always beneficial.
Here are the links for September:

I look forward to talking to you all in the coming weeks, please reach out if you have any questions.

Making Butter!
We have been studying states of matter in science and wanted to see what happened when we took a liquid, heavy cream, and really shook it! Well, after a lot of shaking we found a couple different things, we made whipped cream, which turned into butter and strained out some buttermilk. So we ended up with a solid and a different kind of liquid. Wow! Second graders have really been enjoying eating butter on crackers. We are hoping to use the buttermilk to bake with soon too!
Enjoying the butter!
