Dear Soon-to-Be Second Graders at St. Gregory Barbarigo School,

I hope you have had a enjoyable summer and that you will be able to do some fun activities before the start of the school year.

I am looking forward to being your second grade teacher this year!  We will learn a lot together!  We will be reading many kinds of stories, and we will be adding and subtracting numbers in the hundreds!  We will learn to write stories on all sorts of topics, and we will learn about people who have made important contributions to our world.  We will listen to stories about Jesus, and we will learn about the many ways Jesus reminds us of how much we are loved by God.  We will prepare to receive the Sacrament of Reconciliation and the Sacrament of the Eucharist.  I know that it will be a very special year for you and your family.

Mrs. Schweitzer will be helping us in the classroom for part of our school day.  She is great with computers and I know you will like her!

Please bring your supplies for the first day of school.  I will give you the notebooks that you need for class.  You may bring a snack each day to eat in the morning.

Enjoy your bike rides, your swims in the pool, your visits to the beach, and your time playing in the backyard during this last week of vacation!  I will see you soon!

Sincerely,

Sr. Diane McSherry
