Class News

Welcome to our Class News page!  I will be posting updates each week about what is happening in our classroom here.  Please check it each Friday for updates.

Week of May 29 – June 2, 2017

We are wrapping up the year with our studies and have been reviewing different subjects this week.  I was impressed with how the children remembered their personal information and pleased that they were excited to learn it.  It is great to see their enthusiasm for learning in so many ways, and I will miss this happy quality of second graders and their approach to life.  I have also been testing them on their reading DRA levels and will include this information for you in their report cards.  It is helpful to know this information so that you can use it to find good books to read during the summer months ahead.  I would highly recommend having your child participate in a library reading program if possible, because they have good incentives and it is a good habit to develop.

I also wanted to let you know that I have scheduled a summer birthday/end of the year party on June 12 at 2:00.  We will celebrate all those students with summer birthdays, and combine this celebration with an end of the year party to recognize all our successes this year.

Our final science assessment will take place this coming Friday June 9.  This information will be on birds,   We will also be exploring owl pellets and learning about the amazing way owls digest their food.

I hope this final full week of school will be filled with fun and learning for your children.  It has been a beautiful year of fun!
