The second grade is happily settling back into their desks in the dome as the cooler weather is finally here! Please send appropriate clothing for our cool mornings as needed. If your child does not yet have rubber-soled slippers, please send in a labeled pair. It makes transitioning from the wet grassy outdoors into the dome easier and cleaner, and slippers help keep their feet warm. Thank you!

We began our first math block this week. We spent time working with creating geometric forms and working with number families. Using circles, gems, and lines we are drawing forms on paper and then coloring them. We will continue working with geometric forms in the coming week and then move into learning more about place value for the rest of the block.

I look forward to meeting with each of you this week to share all about your children have been doing and learning. Please remember we have half-day dismissal all week. The grades children will not have lunch at school, but please still send in a snack. We are offering aftercare as usual starting at 12:30.

With gratitude,

Melissa
