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 had a great potluck last night!

I'm looking forward to seeing you all for the first day of school tomorrow. My room is open for quiet reading at 7:45 each day. Instruction begins at 8:05 sharp. A community snack will be provided. Please check your child's backpack for his or her notes folder. There are letters from me and forms from the school.

I'm looking forward to working with you!

Peace,

Justin

Hey all. Sitting in the computer lab with the entire Lincoln Community School staff. We're learning about how to use the school's new technology. Looks like most folks had a good year. I've enjoyed meeting Todd, Chris, Tiffany, Dani, and hearing about everyone's adventures over the summer. Looks like it's going to be another great year. Has anyone seen the garden? It's full of flowers and veggies! Andrew has been working his tail off down there!

We'll all be here at the school getting ready for when school starts next Wednesday.

Here's a link for last year's (08-09) blog, I'll be using this blog for the 09-10 school year....looks like it's going to work well.

Bye for now.
