He Has Risen

Happy Easter Second Grade Families!
I hope that you all had a blessed Easter and a beautiful Spring Break!  Welcome back to all of you.  Can you believe that in a few days we will have arrived in the month of May?  This means that we will only have a few weeks left together in the second grade.  Please know that during the month of May I do not give homework to the students.  The only exception will be to prepare for Spelling tests in the next few weeks.  Please enjoy some extra downtime as I know that both you and your children can use some rest after a very hectic school year!  May 23rd will be the last day of school for all of our ACS students and the students will be dismissed at noon on this day, so please plan accordingly.  Please continue reading this newsletter to discover all that will be taking place at ACS this week and in our second grade classroom.
