Welcome! Second and third grade is a time for personal growth and moving towards independence. This year your child will work towards building long-lasting friendships, becoming role models, and learning the importance of responsibility. Throughout the year your child will work independently, with partners, and in small groups to enhance their learning potential.
The 2/3 class has a very exciting year ahead of them. We will begin the year by taking an in-depth look at different communites around the world. As we do this, I will stress how classrooms are communities and how important it is that everyone works together.
You can expect to find homework assignments, spelling lists, upcoming events, and student work on this class website.
Ms. Truman's class gets things done!
You are invited to our Author’s Tea on May 15! Our students will be sharing a special piece of writing they have worked very hard on. During our Author’s Tea we will be sitting outside in small groups, so please dress for the weather. After the authors share, we will return to the classroom for snacks and a special surprise. We hope you can make it!


Your child is learning what it takes to be a naturalist. This week we have been meeting with an author who writes books about nature. The class had a great time trying to build a bird nest that they could pick up without it falling apart...they discovered, they should probably leave this to the birds!
Next week they will be going on a nature walk and observing all of the beauty sights nature has to offer.
