Incoming Second Grade 26-27 

    Welcome to Second Grade!  

Dear incoming second grade families,

We are so excited to welcome your child into second grade in September.  Second grade is such a special year of growth and learning, in both education and spirituality.  We look forward to getting to know your child and your families throughout the next school year.  

Summer Reading:

Attached you will find two summer reading bingo boards- one for July and one for August.  Students are encouraged to complete as many activities on the bingo board as they can (Remember having someone read to your child counts as reading too!).   Students that complete both bingo boards and turn it in will receive a small prize from their teacher.  

Supply List:

You will also find the supply list attached for second grade.  Please make sure all personal items are labeled with your child’s names.  Dry erase markers, glue sticks, paper towels, ziplocks, and tissues will be collected and used as needed throughout the year. Everything else should be labeled.
