We are always working hard here at JTPS to provide children with the best education to make them successful learners. We have been hard at work on a new program called Units of Study in Phonics, by Lucy Calkins. This program is designed to offer:

· Engaging storylines

· Classroom mascots

· Songs

· Chants

· Rhymes

· Games

This will help students fall head over heels in love with phonics and to create a joyous community of learners.

I am very excited to be starting this new program in second grade! As always, I look forward to all the new learning the students will be doing!
