Weekly Update, May 18, 2020

Good Morning, 2B Families,

Happy Spirt Week!  I hope you had a nice weekend and were able to enjoy some sunshine.  This week we will be celebrating our SMM pride with a Spirit Week.  I have attached the flyer  which includes dates and themes for the week.  We are kicking the week off with Pajama Day today.  Reminder: Friday, May 22 is a non-student day!  Your child will not have work to complete in Google Classroom this day!  Due to this, we will be taking our spelling test on Thursday this week.

Important Tidbits:

Epic! ReadingI just wanted to give a shoutout to the class!  They have read over 500 books in the past few weeks – I am blown away!  I have assigned a collection titled “FriendSHAPES” for this week.  This is absolutely optional, however fits with our math objective for the week.  The collection includes books relating shapes to art, space, animals, Hawaii (who doesn’t love some tropical paradise?!) and much more!  I made sure to pick a book/video out for each unique interest in our 2B classroom. 😊

Please send photos for Mrs. Mallahan!  She is retiring after 32 years of teaching at St. Mary Magdalen!  To help with her sendoff, we are putting together a video full of thanks for passing her joy and love of reading onto the SMM Community.  Please take a picture of your student or student(s) with their favorite book and send to Melissa Morrier-Turk at 

MM**********@st*****.org











 by Friday, May 29th. If your student would like to write a note to Mrs. Mallahan or hold up a poster with an affirmation (thanks, you rock, etc.) that would be great as well!  Thank you for helping make this retirement for Mrs. Mallahan a special one!
