Second grade has had a wonderful and exciting start to the new year at LEDP and I’m so happy to be reunited with this group of kiddos again! They’ve grown a lot since kindergarten and they’ve welcomed Pia with open arms right from the very start!  One of the coolest parts of being in second grade in LEDP is that the group spends the first half of the day in the big room! With that space comes more responsibilities and opportunities, such as foosball and the loft castle, which the children have been doing a great job adjusting to. 

We start off our days by taking attendance, then jumping right into reading and homework time. The next part of our day is everyone's favorite part- free choice and activity time! We have had a couple eager friends jump right into our art and science projects. Some highlights include “Leaf Crystals”, painting fall trees, and watercolor spiderwebs. The biggest hit of all the projects so far has been the fuse beads, which fills the room with joy when we occasionally bring them out. After free choice, the second graders eat snack. Following snack, we either will go outside, to the gym, or transition into another room. We have been taking advantage of being outside before the colder weather arrives.

Pia and I are thrilled to be the second-grade teachers this year and we are super excited to further build our relationships with the kiddos and make more memories as the year continues!
