Second Grade

Welcome to second grade!

What an adventure of a school year we have ahead of us! This year, we welcome Kaitlin Lester as part of our second grade team. Mrs. Lester has been a third grade teacher at Roaring Brook for many years!

It is going to be an exciting year, filled with learning and exploring! We will spend time reading new books and writing our own fiction and nonfiction books. We will also be exploring some amazing topics in science and social studies in greater depth this year.  

We are excited for a new year of learning and growing together as a second grade community!

Warmly,

The Second Grade Teachers
