I am so excited to start the new school year!  We do so many fun things in second grade that I look forward to coming to school every single day!  This year I have a new partner teacher, Mrs. Kohlmeyer,  in the other second grade room who will be teaching all the students social studies, while I teach the science.  We will also be working together with all the students on special projects and activities.  

Please check this webpage often to see what we are doing.  I will post the spelling words every week, share photos, list important dates, and try to give you a good idea of what your child is doing during the school day.  I have kept several of my favorite photos from last year to give you a sample of what you will see in 2010-11.  (Please forgive the size of our Joe Mauer photo.  He is holding a figure of our Flat Stanley from the second grade unit on the 50 states, and even though I couldn't shrink him down, I just couldn't delete him yet either.)

If your child would like to email me at the above address, I would love to email back.  I'm looking forward to meeting everyone soon.  Mrs. Harty

Science is always a favorite subject in second grade.  One of the most popular units is the electricity unit.  Yes, every child will be able to succeed in this class, create a circuit and make the light bulb glow.
