Second Grade is an important transitioning year for young students! This year we will be exploring, investigating, collaborating and expanding our minds to become expert problem solvers and beneficial members of society.

Please use this site and its resources to help further reinforce what we learn in class as well as receive important information about our classroom and school.

Classroom Materials

You may be wondering, “What back-to-school supplies do I need?”

Please bring these things in with you on the first day:

___A pack of glue sticks (We run out of these quickly every year! Elmer’s glue sticks work best.)

___One pair of kid scissors. (labeled with name if possible)

___ Two black Sharpie markers (fine or medium point)

___3 folders in the following colors: Blue, Red and Yellow. We will be using these to organize our work based on subject.

___A backpack and a lunchbox if you pack (Please label with your child’s first and last name)

___ A pair of headphones that fit over the ears. Earbuds can be difficult to use with young children. (we will be using these all year)

___A pack of colored pencils and crayons

___A pencil box or bag to store things in

___A bundle of pencils with good erasers

___ Extra healthy snacks (pretzels, Goldfish, etc.) that I can store in our classroom in case a student forgets his/her snack.

We are requesting families consider avoiding nut product food items. School and classroom water fountains will be turned off. Students are encouraged to bring a refillable water bottle with a wide top. There will be water refill stations throughout the building.

Extremely excited to meet you all on the first day of school!

Mr. Vitale
