Dear Parents and Students,
We would like to welcome you to second grade at Coventry Elementary School. We have many exciting activities planned for the new school year. We will be reading many wonderful books including nonfiction, biographies, adventures, and mysteries. We will be writing paragraphs, letters, stories, and poems. In math we will memorize addition and subtraction facts to 18, learn to add and subtract with regrouping, and study other math topics like fractions, money, time and geometry. We will be studying communities, maps, American Indians, and ancient Egypt and China. In science we will do experiments, grow plants, and raise butterflies. We are looking forward to meeting you at our Open House scheduled for the last week of August.
In the meantime you can check out our supply list below and start getting ready for the exciting year ahead. You can also prepare for the new school year by reading lots of books. Relax and enjoy the summer vacation. The 2005-2006 school year begins on Tuesday, September 6th with many interesting activities in store for our second graders.
Sincerely,
The Second Grade Team
