Dear Parents,

We have had an outstanding first week of school together! We have learning and practiced many times on what it looks like and sounds like to be a second grader. Your child has worked very hard this week, and I am very proud of them. A few things we have learned this week are: a few of our literacy center rotations including library, technology, and pocket chart; Number Talks – working on our mental math and sharing our thinking; doubles and sum in addition; problem solving – learning to show our thinking on paper. This week we have also learned new songs and took “Brain Breaks” and danced many fun dances.

I hope you enjoy your long weekend together. Remember, no school on Monday. I am so glad to have your child in my class!
