Fables
Next week we will be studying Aesop's fables! Please check out our study guide that came home today. It has a great chart listing the elements of fables. We will be looking at some of the titles below and noticing the problem/solution and plot in the genre. I would love for you to make it to the local library to check out some fables on your own!
Fables are a fun genre and your child will be using them to learn in school for many years to come! Use this chart as a way to familiarize yourself with their elements/characteristics.

Doubles Baby!
We will be practicing this doubles rap to review our doubles facts this week.
Parents, if your child doesn't know these facts, please practice them each and every night! Learning these will make addition easier for them as we move into adding and regrouping 2 digit numbers.

Welcome Back Class of 2027!!
Welcome back class of 2027!! I can't wait to get to know each of you this year! I hope you had an absolutely wonderful summer! I believe each one of you was placed in my classroom for a special reason. I know that you will love 2nd grade! I have no doubt that you will make new friends this year, feel proud of your accomplishments, and feel yourself growing as a reader and a writer. I will do everything I can to make your year fun, full of curiosity, and full of learning! We only have a little time together, but our time will be so special!
I have spent the past couple weeks setting up our room and making sure it is ready for you. I can hardly wait for Monday! I was so excited to meet so many of you on Meet the Teacher day! I can't wait to learn more about you next week. I thought you may be wondering about me to, so below I've shared some pictures and things about me. Enjoy your last weekend of summer!
This is me in second grade.
I went to the College of Charleston and graduated in 2011 with a bachelor's degree in Early Childhood Education.
This will be my 5th year teaching at CFG. I love my school, especially my wonderful team!
On top of my 24 babies in room 202, I have 2 much larger babies at home.
Tibby doing what she loves most.
Steel posing in the snow.
Tibby and Steel are both quarter horses, you will hear me talk about them often!
My dad has a cattle farm. I spend most of my weekends in the winter helping him care for our baby calves.
This summer, one of my friends got married and I got to be in her wedding.
It was so much fun! My other best friend (with red hair) is getting married in October! I will be her maid of honor.
I am 27 years old. I love traveling, spending time with my friends and family, animals, shopping, and teaching 2nd graders! I am not married yet. I have one brother who lives in Wilmington, NC.
