Dear Second Grade Families,

Thank you for an amazing year of second grade! Watching your children grow this year has been an absolute joy. Thank you also for my beautiful plant, precious signed pot, and generous end of school year gift! I’m so thankful for all the kindness and support you have given throughout the year.

We had a wonderful field day last week! Students enjoyed playing games and creating amazing, giant bubbles together! The students especially loved getting soaked during a crochet water balloon toss, sponge relay, and sprinkler fun. We then shared a popsicle treat together to complete our day of fun.

To end the school year, the students reviewed their main lesson books, journals, and paintings from the entire year. They picked a few pieces they were most proud of to share with the class. We were all delighted with each other’s favorite works. It was magical watching them remember where they began this year, and feeling a sense of pride for how much they have learned since then. These books hold a lovely sampling of all they learned this past year, and were brought home by your child to share with you.

This summer, please have your child practice the reading and writing assigned sight words. They can make flash cards of the words, review pre-made flash cards, or practice writing and reading a few words a day with you. I will follow up with an email including a pdf of these assigned words and some additional fun summer ideas for reviewing the words later today. Please also have your child practice addition and subtraction math facts with numbers 1-20 throughout the summer.

I cannot believe this school year is over! It went so fast, but was jam packed with wonderful memories. Thank you again for all your support and kindness. I wish you all a happy summer filled with fun, family, and some rest too! Best of luck in the third grade with many more learning adventures!

Lots of love,

Ki Hayley
