Hi Parents,

 After some technical difficulties, and some busy field trip weeks, I'm pleased to announce the return of the Second Grade Blog, Curioustigators. I'll be posting pictures from our learning, catching up on posts about our field trips, and occasionally we'll have guest student posts. Stay tuned for the come back tour of the second grade blog!

Have a great weekend!

Cheerios,

Justin

Reading

I sent home a letter with information about home reading. Your child will have a book or two from school and a reading log. Please help your second grader remember to read for twenty minutes every night!  Patty, Bonnie and I are reading with second graders individually this week to learn more about who they are as readers.

Interviewing Farmers

We'll be heading to the Middlebury Farmers' market this Wednesday 9/16. We'll leave school at 9:00 and return before noon. Thanks to all of you who have sent $2.00 for the group snack.

Beetle Glyphs in Mathematics

Second graders have created beetles that show information about themselves. They used a key and symbols to represent their favorite sport, season, and their birthday. Come to our class and see if you can figure out who these beetles belong to!

We headed to the Westbrook family farm today and sketched goats. We'll be learning about all the ways that goats can help us over the next month.Sketching goats during Art with Nancy
