The second graders will be as busy as bees in June. We begin by celebrating our two years together on June 16^th. Then, on June 18^th, we will be going to Save the Bay’s Exploration Center in Newport to learn about a variety of creatures in Narragansett Bay and explore Easton’s Beach. Finally, on June 22^nd, the children will be meeting their pen pals as we set off to Western Coventry School for a fun-filled day.

Although it is summer, remember the learning should continue. Read many books and talk about the story elements, summarize or retell the story, draw a picture of your favorite character or part of the story and make connections. This can also be done with a movie you go to see or a television show you watch. Practice your math facts, telling time, counting money and making change. Keep a journal about what you do or how to get somewhere. A writing companion book will be sent home for the children to keep. They can work in it throughout the summer to reinforce the writing skills and strategies they have learned. Keep those brain cells active!

It has been a pleasant and rewarding experience working with your children for two years. We have enjoyed the relationship we have built with each child and feel as though they are part of our family. It will be difficult to say good-bye. Thank-you for everything!
