Firefly Second Grade has had a terrific start to our school year! We have been busy doing team building activities with the Firefly First Graders so we can get to know them better. We have also been doing a terrific job of taking our second grade responsibilities seriously and modeling what everything should look like and sound like for first graders. In addition to that, we have created our Hopes and Dreams for the school year, and created some beautiful self portraits that show how much we have grown and matured since the beginning of first grade when we did our first self portraits. We have also been busy creating a bulletin board that shares what we are excited about for the the upcoming year. We have reviewed rules and routines and managed to master how dismissal from Unified Arts will look already.
Please check today's Friday Folder for information regarding dismissal this year. Second graders will be dismissed directly from Unified Arts and have specific routes they should be taking to get to the bus, Part 2, pick-up and any other places they will be going at dismissal. It is very important that I know in writing what your plans are for dismissal in the morning so I can forward that information to Unified Arts teachers. If plans change last minute, please call Esther in the office and she will notify me so I can get that information to Unified Arts teachers.
Please be sure to return Family Information sheets to school as well as other forms required by the main office and health office. Also, please mark your calendar for September 17th for the 1/2 Curriculum Night.
I look forward to another fantastic year working and learning with your children!

Welcome Back to School Second Graders!
Welcome back to school! It was terrific to spend time with everyone at the Firefly picnic Monday night! I was amazed by how much all of my friends have grown over the summer!
We will spend the next few days settling back into school and getting to know our new first grade friends on the Firefly team. Next week we will ease into our regular schedule.
Please send your child with their Family Information sheet the first day of school as we need that information to make sure we know where your child will be going at dismissal time. Our class has Unified Arts at the end of the day every day this year. Because of this and changes in dismissal time, our class will bring our belongings to Unified Arts and be dismissed directly from there. If you are planning to pick your child up it will be easiest to meet them in the office at dismissal time. All students are being dismissed at the same time this year, it may be a bit chaotic for them to meet you down in the classroom space.
I look forward to another wonderful year of learning with your children!
