Hello 2nd Grade LEDP Families! 

The last two weeks have flown by! The children have enjoyed playing foosball, creating a loft restaurant, practicing with hot glue and creating marbled fall color posters.

We have also finished our first chapter book of the year “Lulu and the Brontosaurus,” and have already moved onto the second. The 2nd graders voted to continue the Lulu series, so now we are enjoying “Lulu Walks the Dogs”. To keep all the students on the same page, we do a 2nd grader summary after every chapter so no one feels lost. 

The weather is beginning to change, which means we need to be prepared for enjoying chillier temperatures outside. The 2nd graders and teachers goal is to continue to be outside as much as possible until the time change or in severe weather. Please continue to send your children in with weather appropriate gear so they can keep cozy. 

Also please continue to send your child in with a snack designated for LEDP. We suggest labeling the snack so your child knows to save it! 

We look forward to another fun-filled two weeks!

Hello LEDP 2nd grade families! 

We have had a great two weeks! The children have been settling into our routine and are doing well with the new expectations and activities we've added. Within these past two weeks we have introduced our foosball game, table cleaners and a new snack time chapter book! Our “everyone” activity was decorating a new cover page for our quiet time journals! Some optional activities have included lava lamps, poke berry plant painting and animal size guessing. We have also been spending so much time outside both on the playground and running in the field!

As we transition into Fall time, we want to remind families to send you child in with clothing appropriate for cooler and wet weather! We would also like to suggest labeling an addition snack for your child so they have something to eat during our afternoon! 

We do want to take a moment to say goodbye to one of our 2nd grade teachers Mia. Mia brought us fun, fizzing and creative activities and we wish her the best of luck! 

We had a wonderful September and look forward to a spooky filled October!

Hello 2nd grade families! 

Welcome to and welcome back to LEDP! 2nd grade has had a blast coming back to school. We have been discussing a lot of expectations and policies while also introducing the students to their new afterschool classroom. 

They have had a great time hanging out in the loft, playing with rubrik's cubes, using at our craft station and playing Mancala. 

While teacher directed activities happen every day, we offer both “optional” and “everyone” projects. Everyone activities will benefit the whole classroom and help us grow as members of the LEDP community. Our first “everyone activity” was a watercolor color painted picture that we hung up in our cubbies to give them some extra color. Our second “everyone activity” was the Blind Buddy Building game. The children sat back to back and moved 5 block pieces then described their design for their partner to try to replicate. 

If you are interested you can check out the LEDP Amazon wish list. The list is filled with games, activities and materials that the children will use during the program. There are also resources that the teachers utilize for planning keeping things clean and safe. You can find our list at on the front page our website.

A few additional reminders for families and students. Please remember to check in with a 2nd grade teacher before picking your child up in the afternoons. Teachers have attendance lists that are constantly checked and updated as the afternoon progresses. 

Please also consider packing your child a labeled snack for LEDP in their backpack. Please also know that we love taking advantage of being outside and will try to play outside in sun, wind, snow, and light rain. Please send your child in with appropriate clothes so they can enjoy the outside spaces we have at Lawrence School.
