Dear Second Grade Families,

Happy Tuesday! Thank you deeply to all who assisted with knitting and assembling our class auction project, a beautiful wool blanket! There is great excitement surrounding the end product and we are excited to see it become a part of our school auction’s amazing offerings.

Last week, we began our play block. The children delighted in working on becoming different characters, reciting lines, and practicing voice work. They also enjoyed working on theatrical qualities through theater games. We will continue practice this week and students will be assigned parts by Friday. Help will be needed to create student costumes. If you are interested in assisting with costume creation, please email me this week. In Waldorf plays, the focus is on the student, rather than sets and costumes; costumes will remain simple. Thank you in advance for your help with this!

We also launched our current English Language Arts block. We are focusing on syllabication, learning to break down multisyllabic words, and reviewing the difference between open and closed syllables. Additionally, we continue to learn new cursive letters daily. Students have greatly enjoyed this process and look forward to a new letter each day!

Reminders:

Now that the weather is warming, please equip your child with sun hats, insect repellent, and water shoes. Creekcess will begin soon and students may only go in the water if they have hard-soled, closed-toed shoes for the creek.
