Getting ready!

Back to school time is approaching! I'm still enjoying summer but am getting excited about starting a new school year too. My daughter already started school! We dropped her off at college yesterday.

The summer is a great time to explore, visit new places and try new things. These are two new experiences I had this summer...

Have you ever seen an alpaca give a hug?!

On just one night in August every year, a community of 310 cottages on Martha's Vineyard, light up their porches with paper lanterns!

Does this remind you of any traditions in your neighborhood?

 

 

 

 

I can't wait to hear about your summer experiences!

Here's what our classroom looked like when I returned this summer, yikes! We're getting a shiny new floor this week so I'll be finishing up and getting it ready for fun and learning next week. Are you coming to our Sneak Peek Day on September 4? You can bring your parents, find your desk and check out our space. Come by between 2:30 and 3:00 pm.

I found these books about second grade at the library. Have you been to the library this summer? Here's a video I made reading one of them to you!

Our class pets, Ben and Jerry are a little nervous about meeting so many new friends. I told them how awesome you all are. I guess back to school makes everyone a little jittery.

Enjoy the rest of your vacation, I'll see you in a couple of weeks!

Smiles & Hugs,
