Hi, everyone! We've made it to the end of another great week in second grade...the LAST FULL WEEK OF SECOND GRADE, in fact!!! Where, oh where did this year go?!?!?! It has been a wonderful time full of learning and fun memories!!!
This week we did lots and lots!!! We read several selections about our country and continued learning about sea life! We are almost done with our Magic School Bus book all about sea life...it's a great story! We discussed what's happening with the oil spill which sparked lots of discussion about responsibility AND forgiveness! We reviewed lots of the things we learned in math and language arts this year, too, and wrote letters to our friends.
The highlight of the week, of course, was the "Down by the Creek Bank" show. I am soooooo proud of all of the kids' hard work. Weren't they great? More than anything, though, I pray that the message of the show lives in their hearts forever!
Next week is just going to FLY BY!!! Here are some important announcements and reminders:
*Monday, 5/24 - End of the year party at Chuck E. Cheese
Feel free to send some extra cash with your child if you'd like him/her to have more tokens!
*DON'T FORGET TO SEND IN A $5.00 GIFT CARD BY MONDAY!!! PICK A PLACE THAT YOUR CHILD LIKES AND PUT YOUR CHILD'S NAME ON IT! EACH CHILD WILL GET ONE DURING THE AWARDS CEREMONY NEXT THURSDAY!
*TUESDAY - PLEASE SEND SOME KIND OF A BIG BAG TO SCHOOL WITH YOUR CHILD AS WE'LL BE CLEANING OUT DESKS THAT DAY!!!
*TUESDAY - MRS. CORSINO'S BLING PARTY! EACH CHILD MAY BRING A NON-ELECTRONIC TOY, PUZZLE, OR GAME TO SCHOOL TO PLAY WITH!
*Wednesday, 5/26 - FIELD DAY - 9:30-2:30. See Coach Madasz if you'd like to volunteer to help on this fun-filled day! Boys may wear bathing suits and t-shirts, and girls may wear bathing suits under their clothes, because they may get wet!!! Be sure to apply sunscreen to your child before sending him/her to school that day!!!
*Thursday, 5/27 - Last Day of School!!! We will have a short awards ceremony in our classroom starting that day at 8:15. I hope you all can come! Dismissal will officially be at 11:30 that day...but you may feel free to take your Sweetie and start summer early when the award ceremony is over, if you'd like!!!
As the year is winding down, I've been thinking about all of the things the children have learned. My prayer is that, if they remember nothing else, they remember this one thing. Jesus told us that the MOST IMPORTANT THING to do in your life is to "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind...love your neighbor as yourself" (Matthew 22:37-39). No matter what we do from day to day in our lives, the thing that God cares about the most is that we love Him and love others.
Have a great weekend!
In Christ's Name,
Mrs. Corsino and Mrs. Ludwig
Next week, Mrs. Corsino's star student will be LAUREN.
SECRET WORD: SUMMERTIME!!!
YOU DO NOT NEED TO SEND THE FRIDAY FOLDERS BACK NEXT MONDAY! YOU MAY KEEP THEM FOREVER AND EVER!!! :O)
