Welcome to Second Grade!

The second graders started off the new school year with excitement and motivation!

Last week was spent getting to know their classmates and procedures of the classroom.

This week, we will be starting math and spelling.

Please check your child’s homework folder every night for notes and homework.

Also, don’t forget to send snacks everyday. The students work very hard and need brain power!
