First weeks of school....

Over the past couple weeks of school we have been really getting to know each other and have begun learning our classroom routines. It was very hot for a lot of the time, but the kids and teachers survived and even managed to have a little fun! We spent some time in our garden harvesting beets, watermelons and potatoes. The second graders are very excited to try these delicious vegetables!

Welcome Back to School 2018

Dear Families,
      I am very excited to welcome you back to the 2018-2019 Academy School Year! A couple dates to remember:
Wednesday, August 29th we invite you to drop into our classrooms from 2-3pm for our annual meet and greet! 
Thursday August 30th is the First Day of school! 
Please remember the second bell rings at 8:25.  All students should arrive by 8:20am and make their way out to the PLAYGROUND.  I will meet the children outside on the playground and we will walk into school together as a class. 

I am looking forward to another wonderful year in second grade.
