Ice Cream Celebration!

(I'm Sorry!! I thought I posted this a week ago, but I left it in my draft folder by accident!)

We had an amazing week in second grade!  We had an  "ice cream"  theme these first three days to make things more fun.  We ended our week with many ice cream activities and a nice ice cream sandwich picnic.  Here are some photographs from our fun filled day!!  Enjoy your long weekend and I'll see everyone on Tuesday, September 2nd.

First Day Fun!

We had a GREAT first day in second grade!! There are going to be some tired kids in Colchester tonight!!   I can tell we are going to have an amazing year because everyone was so friendly and thoughtful!  I will post pictures of all the students when I receive everyone blog permission slips! Have a great night and I look forward to our second day tomorrow!!

UMS Open House

UMS will host an Open House for all first and second graders on Tuesday, August 26th from
8:00 a.m.-9:00 a.m.  This is a chance for your child to visit the classroom, see old friends, and even meet some new friends!  It is a great way to alleviate any anxiety before the first day of school.  This is a very informal event, so you are free to come and go as you please.  I will have a short scavenger hunt for your child to complete while I have a chance to meet parents.  This great event really helps make everyone excited for the first day of school!  See you then!

Curriculum Night

School is right around the corner and I have been busy getting ready for your child!  I will be holding a curriculum night on Thursday, August 21st at 6:30 p.m. in my classroom, Room 9. This is an informal event for parents to get a feel of what a day in second grade looks like. I will go over reading and writing workshop, math stations, as well as our science and social studies curriculum.  This should last no longer than 30-45 minutes and you will have an opportunity to ask questions throughout the presentation.

If you are unable to attend, please don't worry! I will send home a detailed letter during the first week of school going over all of the same information.  Enjoy the last few weeks of summer and I look forward to seeing you soon!

Special Guest

One of our classmates rode a horse to school today! Here are some photos from our early morning visit with Nutmeg!

The Village Scoop!

To celebrate the end of an amazing school year, I took everyone to the Village Scoop for ice cream today!  We had a lot of fun and some delicious ice cream! Here are some photos from our adventure!

MBS Fly Up Day!

This morning we went to MBS for Fly Up Day! Excitement was high and I'm happy to report that everyone has at least one friend in their new class!   Each child spent 45 minutes in their new classroom with their new teacher and classmates.  Fun was had all over the school! After meeting with their new class, we all went to the gymnasium to do the "Papaer Shake" dance with the P.E. teachers.  We had a GREAT morning!!  Here are some pictures from our adventures!
