Wow. The new school year is off to a great start. Your children are settling in nicely to the classroom routine and procedures. I am amazed at how happy and relaxed they are in my classroom and ready to learn. On Thursday and Friday they participated in various "getting to know you" activities including writing statements about themselves that the rest of the class had to decided if they were true or false. The students also came up with a set of class promises that will help encourage every student to feel good about themselves, build classroom togetherness where students enjoy being in their classroom and develop mutual respect for each other's accomplishments. They also wrote, played, read, sorted through supplies, participated in PE, practiced the various emergency drills and painted their portraits.

Well done, Second Grade!
