Dear Families,

Our final week is coming up quickly. Boy oh boy has it been a great year of learning! On top of that, our class has gained a firm understanding of what it looks like to be respectful and active learners.  We've come a LONG way! I'm so proud of them!

PEAS Farm Field trip: Tomorrow we'll head out for the Farm at 8:20. Will you remind your student to be weather ready and to also wear appropriate shoes?

Language Arts: We’ve been working on Poetry and have completed a 2nd grade Poem Packet. Please look for your child’s creative packet in today’s mail.   The poems will surely make your day.

This week, our class has also been reading informational text. We’re currently writing mini reports to share with one another. 

Math:  We’re reviewing- reviewing- reviewing.  

Compliment Containers: Next week, we'll engage in an activity that offers the opportunity to "fill each other's bucket". First, each student will provide a written compliment to each of his/her classmates. Next, we'll fold up the compliments and place them in each student's container. Finally, each student will read their compliments privately. I'll send home the compliment containers for you to enjoy as well. This activity is a great way to wrap up the year. So much positivity and kindness is shared! Last Day of School:  Friday the 9th marks our very last day of 2nd Grade. 180 Days will be complete! Hooray! We have an early dismissal at 11:00 to wrap-up our last day.

FYI: Thursday the 8th, I'll send home report card packets for the final time. If your student needs their end of the year packet before the 8th, please let me know. (On the 8th, I'll also send home all school supplies and we'll clear out lockers as well.)

Thank you for sharing your kiddos with me this year! It's been great getting to know them and also getting to know all of you. Take care & have the best summer break with your kiddos!
