Dear Parents-

    Well, summer vacation has finally begun. It is hard to believe that all this time has passed. We spent our last day of school talking about what we would be doing in the summer and then going over any questions we might have about second grade. The children are actually wise in recognizing the excitement of it all as well as the anxiousness about what second grade might bring.  "Is it going to be hard?" was one of the questions.  We talked about the beginning of first grade math and how the children said, "Oh, I know this. I have done this before." And then we went on to discuss that our lessons will start with what they already know and move on to what they will learn to add to their repertoire of skills.
