June 2025 Dear Families of Rising Second-Grade Students, As part of summer reading, we ask all students entering second grade to select at least one book from the attached list to read over the summer. Of course, students are always encouraged to read more! Upon our return to school in September, students should bring the book they selected. Rereading, discussing and sharing about the books will be part of the work classes do during the first few days of school. Wishing you a wonderful summer!
