Mrs. Wood's Grade 2 Class: Summer! New Web sites, APPS and Photos to CHECK OUT!

Hello Everyone,

Wow! This summer has flown by, I can not believe we are into early August. This summer has been a blur of amazing playdates, visits with friends, swimming, soccer and cottage trips for Ella, Logan and I. I'm not sure where July went. Mr. Wood, Ella, Logan and I just got back from a wonderful week at a cottage with a group of friends, we went canoeing, paddle boating, kayaking, swimming and had a great time. Again, time flies when you are having fun. I think Ella and Logan wished we could stay there all summer long they had a such a great time playing with their friends.

Ella and Logan had a short nap last summer during the day so I had a small window of down time to get things done, but this summer no such luck and we are on the go all day long. Don't get me wrong I am loving every minute of it.

I hope you and your family are having a fantastic summer doing whatever makes you smile and laugh. Please make sure you are reading and writing a bit here and there, you worked hard to get where you are and a little of both each day (or at least three times a week) will keep you ready for grade 3.

Please drop by in September to say Hi and tell me about your summer.

Take care,

Love, Mrs. Wood
