Dear Families,
We had a great first
week renewing friendships and getting to know new friends. Exploring our Three Sister’s garden was one
highlight. We counted between
12-17pumpkins in our school gardens and had a scavenger hunt to find plant
parts in our three Sister’s garden. We
enjoyed tasting the beans raw and looking at the difference between in Indian
flint corn vs the sweet corn grown locally.
Second Grade Blog:
This will be the last newsletter I will send now
that Rivendell teachers have classroom blogs. You can sign up to receive my
blog via email following the instructions I sent home Friday. You can also go to the Rivendell District
website and click on teacher websites. I
try to update my blog on a weekly basis. I will continue to send permission
slips and other communications as needed in your child’s school/home
folder.
Birthday Celebrations: We love to celebrate birthdays in second grade! If you’d like to send in a snack for your child’s day, we are hoping to stay with our healthy snack policy. Some favorite snack ideas could be muffins, popcorn, salsa and chips, veggies and hummus or fruit salad.

Safe foot
ware: If your child likes to wears
sandals to school, they will need sneakers for P.E. and recess if they want to play
on the climbing structures or play kickball/soccer.
Toys from
home: We are asking children to keep toys
at home. It would a be sad if a special
toy was broken or lost here at school.
Field trips: Second grade is fortunate to have a
variety of trips connected to our curriculum. We go to the Hood Museum of Art
four times per year. Our first visit is October 11th. For all trips we welcome parent
chaperones. The Museum asks that younger
siblings not attend. Please try to return permission slips asap. Thanks!
