Hello from Second Grade!

We are enjoying a short study of Poetry.  By the end of next week each of 
the kids will have compiled their own collection of favorite poetry, 
including some of their own!

The spelling test for the “poetry words” list will be next Friday, October 
17.  This allows for sufficient time to study instead of cramming it into a 
short week.  

I added a Healthy Snack icon to my website.  I have been trying hard not 
to “mother” the kids too much in this aspect of their school day, but I am 
passionate about kids and healthy food.  I have seen that snacks like 
fruits, vegetables, nuts and whole grains make a difference in kids’ 
mornings.  There is also plenty of research to support this, and 
additionally, the Sanford Schools support a Healthy Students initiative.  On 
the Healthy Snack page you will find links to informational websites, as 
well as a few healthy snack ideas.  I ask you to help me and the kids out by 
providing them with a healthy morning snack.

Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns.

Have a great four-day weekend!

Mrs. Brigette Dumont
