Happy Campers!

Hello Second Grade Families,
Next week will be the final week of your child's second grade school year.  It's hard to believe that the end of our school year is now upon us.  Each year, I enjoy creating a multitude of camping themed learning activities for the kids because our family absolutely loves to go camping!  I bet your families may enjoy spending time in the great outdoors too.  I wanted to inform you ahead of time of what will be going on next week, as there are a few items your child will need to bring to school with them.
So, here is our second grade "camping" itinerary for the last week of school!

Monday ~
  • insects vs. bugs
  • writing silly or spooky stories
  • Making mini s'mores (Please let me know if your child can't have pretzels, marshmallows, or chocolate due to any food related allergies)
  •  Spanish Class
  •  Art Class
Tuesday ~
  • camping wordsearch
  • Community Prayer
  • creating a camping themed memory book of our second grade school year
  • PE 
  • Spanish Class
  • writing postcards from camp
Wednesday ~
  •  Camp clean up day!
  • The students will be cleaning out their desks and organizing our classroom for next year's class.  Have your child bring in a large bag to place their school supplies in to take home.  Your child's backpack may not be able to hold all of their materials, and the extra bag will be a big help.
  • Bring in your favorite board game or card game to play in class today!
  • Music class
  • We will also celebrate our year with a movie, popcorn, and juice boxes!  The class will be viewing Disney's "Brother Bear."
  • Every child will also be receiving an "End of the Year" class award!  This award is to celebrate a "gift" that your child brought to our classroom community! 😄
Thursday ~
  • It's an early dismissal day!  Your children will be dismissed at noon!
  • The students will be spending the morning enjoying STREAM based school wide activities!
  • Have a beautiful summer!

Welcome to Holy Week

  Hello Second Grade Families, Welcome to Holy Week.  In one week the gift of the resurrection will once again be celebrated.          Here's to a week of prayer, fasting, and almsgiving.  Three simple actions to honor and to bring us closer to our savior, Jesus Christ.  It's my hope that you each have a beautiful Holy Week, a blessed Easter Sunday, and a wonderful Spring Break.  This week will be quite unique for your children, and so, I have listed key changes and/or activities that will be taking place this week. On Monday, April 11th ~  The second graders will enjoy a STREAM lesson in the morning.  The students will also have two specials on this day, Art & a special Music class. On Thursday, April 14th ~ The students will be dismissed at noon. There will not be any child care on this day, so please plan accordingly.  This day will also be the school wide field day.  Please stay alert for more information via email on what will be transpiring on field day and other pert

It's the last week of school!

Hello Second Grade Families, We have arrived at the very last week of school!  This week is going to be super simple as I am now busily grading assessments, working on your child's report cards, and completing cumulative files for your children.  Inside your children's summer gift from me was a "memory book" for the students to work on.  I'd highly encourage having your children complete a few pages each day to assist them in practicing their writing skills.   Also, have you heard of the "summer slide?"  The summer slide is a term educators use to explain children "sliding back" in their learning due to not engaging in any academic activities over the course of the summer.  However, there's a way to prevent your child from experiencing the summer slide.  Research indicates, that students who read daily and practice their math skills often avoid the summer slide.  Here are a few tips to assist your child this summer. First, have you
