Welcome to the Final Week of School!

 

Hello Second Grade Families,

Welcome to the very last week of the school year!

What a blessed year it has been.  Your children have grown academically, socially, emotionally, and spiritually.  It has been such a tremendous gift to have had each and every one of your children this year.  Please know that your kids will be dearly missed but have etched a permanent place in my heart.  Please know that by Wednesday of this week, your children will be bringing home their personal writing binders.  Inside your child's binder,  you will not only find their "formal writing samples" for this school year, but you will also find their final writing sample,  along with their final math assessment and final reading fluency assessment for this school year.  Also, this week, the kids will be enjoying a "Second Grade Camp Theme" for all of their fun learning activities.  It's going to be a fun and engaging way to end our final week together as a second grade class community.  Please continue reading, so that you can be informed of what your child's "Camp" schedule looks like for this week.

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.

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.
