I can't believe that the year is coming to an end and that we only have 4.5 days left. This is always such a bitter sweet time of the year as we begin to say good-bye. It has been a wonderful year and I have truly loved teaching every one of your children. Thank you for the support throughout the year. This is not good-bye, but see you soon! I always love when children come back to visit me.
We have been busy wrapping up a few end of the year assessments and finishing up our curriculum areas. The children have really enjoyed our Earth's Surfaces unit in Science. We went on a "virtual trip" to the beach and had the opportunity to put our knowledge of how water effects the surface of earth by being engineers trying to stop a landslide. The children were all successful with their designs and loved seeing them in action through our hands-on experiment.
The children did an excellent job on their culminating country projects and it was a pleasure listening to their presentations. I have the projects on display in our classroom and hallway. I intend on having them go home on Monday after our Second Grade Celebration.
We enjoyed meeting with Mrs. Kennely, the Principal at Crisafulli School. The children were able to ask questions about 3rd Grade which added to their excitement about the upcoming year.
The Dance Party was an amazing way to celebrate everyone's hard work and support of the Turkey Trot Fundraiser that we had in the Fall. The children sure do have some hidden dance moves that I wasn't aware of! :)
We are looking forward to our Second Grade Celebration on Monday, June 18th at 9:15. I hope that you are able to join us as the children will be sharing some of their work from throughout the school year. We will be asking parents to take home country projects along with the other items that your child shares at the end of the celebration.
We will also be having a Second Grade Talent show next week on Tuesday and Thursday. One day will be inside talents and the other will be outside talents. Therefore, we will let the children know on Monday which day will be each type of talent as we watch the weather closely to pick the best day for our outside time. This is a voluntary show and we have a sign-up sheet in our classroom. The children who participate are expected to bring their own equipment/supplies. We will be able to provide a CD player, microphone, gymnastics mat, and piano if your child's talent includes any of these supplies. We do ask that your child bring the necessary safety equipment as well, such as: helmet, knee pads, elbow pads, etc. This event is for the second grade students only and a great way for them to showcase their talents in a fun year end activity.
Upcoming Dates:
June 18th 9:15-10:00 - Second Grade Celebration in Room 7
June 21st Move-Up Day
June 22nd- Last Day of School (Early Release)
I hope you all have a fun, relaxing, and safe SUMMER!!! Thanks again for a wonderful year!
