Hello May!

Hello Second Grade Families,
Welcome to the beautiful month of May!  The month where flowers are in full bloom and the month where we honor our Blessed Mother, Mary, the Queen of Heaven.   In the next few weeks, may we all take a little extra time to honor and reflect upon the love the blessed mother has for each of us and may we also know that she will lead us all to have a closer relationship with her beloved son, and our savior, Jesus.  Please continue reading to discover how we will continue with our second grade distance learning.

Would your child like to go on a virtual field trip?  

I found a simple and fun way for your children to go on some virtual field trips of their own choosing through a site that is managed by a mother who "Home School's" her children.  Families may choose to follow the steps below,  so that your children can have a new learning experience in the weeks ahead.

First, click on the link below to download a "FREE" virtual field trip log for your child.  I wanted to provide the field trip log to you,  but it would be considered a copyright infringement.


Once your children have their field trip log ready,  you may click on the next link and your child's adventure awaits!  Please know that your child may want to make additional copies of the virtual field trip log so that they may visit many different destinations!

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.
