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.
