Thank you to those of you who were able to attend Back to School Night last night. We enjoyed talking with you and sharing what we'll be doing in second grade this year. If you were unable to attend, please check your child's Thursday folder for information that we covered. As always, don't hesitate to get in touch with any questions.
In the Back to School Night folder, you will find a "Parent Brag Sheet." Please take a few minutes in the next week or two to fill it out and send it back to school. We love to have your input and perspectives as we get to know your child. Thank you!

This week we continued to solidify our understanding of second grade classroom routines. Second graders learned the Zones of Regulation and worked to identify their emotional zones and how to regulate them. Most importantly, part of our playground opened this week!
Second graders worked diligently on many assessments this week: iReady, math screeners, the end of year math assessment, spelling tests and more. We are learning more about your children and are excited to dive into working towards their individual goals.
