There's no place like 2nd grade... and here's why!

~7 year olds come in reading picture books... and 8 year olds leave reading chapter books!

~Antsy, wiggly kids come to 2nd grade and they can sit for 5 minutes... grown-up, patient kids get ready for third grade and they can sit for 25 minutes!

~Wobbly manuscript handwriting almost fits on 1 inch tall lines at the beginning of the year... small, precise manuscript makes fingers just itch to start writing in cursive at the end of the year!

~Little mathematicians can add 2 + 5 at the beginning of the year... but they can add, subtract, multiply, and divide at the end of the year!

~Little scientists know about mammals, fish, and birds when they come to 2nd grade... but they leave being able to explain the entire water cycle!

~4 foot tall kids come in writing a few sentences... and 4 foot, 3 inch tall kids leave writing paragraphs!

~2nd grade is a year FULL  of learning, growing, and changing... it is an incredible year and I LOVE being able to be a part of this exciting year with my 2nd grade kiddos!

There's just no place like 2nd grade!
