Dear Parents,
Hi! HAPPY FRIDAY! It was a short but busy week here in second grade! We continued our Reading Unit called "Let's Read!" with a fun story called Come Back, Jack! It was about a girl who thought reading was BORING until her little brother showed her what an adventure reading can be! Ask your child to tell you all about it!
Today was a special day! In chapel, we honored the people who serve our country in remembrance of September 11th. Then, after chapel, Lt. Glover visited the second grade. He talked to us about his life as a lieutenant and answered questions that the children had. We played a fun game on the Smartboard about American holidays and sang some American songs, too! To show our thanks, we are asking the second graders to bring in a bag of hard candy next week so that we can send it over to the men and women serving in Iraq. Any donations to help with shipping will be appreciated!
Here are some other things we learned:
*Writing - We wrote some descriptive pieces persuading fictional creatures to try our apples!
*Math - We focused on counting coins this week! We talked about liquid measurement, too!
*Science - We started learning about plants...and apples...for Science!
*Social Studies - We focused on our study of Johnny Appleseed!
*Language Arts - We reviewed the difference between subject pronouns and object pronouns. We learned about verbs, too!
*Bible - We finished learning about Moses' life, and Mrs. Corsino's class continued practicing for our class chapel.
*We also practiced our spelling words and started learning cursive! This week we learned how to make a lower case e!
Here are some announcements and reminders:
*Please make sure your child is in dress code each day. Thank you!!!
*If your child is in Mrs. Corsino's class, don't forget to send in a handheld mirror!!!
*We will be celebrating Johnny Appleseed Day on Friday, September 24th. Each child should come to school that day dressed like Johnny Appleseed! After chapel, we will do some fun apple activities. We would LOVE to have some parent help for this fun day, so please write a note in your child's agenda if you'll be able to come!
*Mrs. Corsino's class will also have their special class chapel that morning at 8:15. The children will be singing 2 songs and putting on a short play for all to see! Soooo...Mrs. Corsino's class should come dressed in jeans and white T-shirts. They may bring other Johnny Appleseed attire (i.e. flannel shirts, rope belts, pans, etc.) to put on after chapel. WOW! What a fun day it's going to be!
*This year's ANNUAL AUCTION will be here soon! Mrs. Corsino's class is responsible for a "Movie" basket, and Mrs. Ludwig's class is responsible for a "Gators" basket. Please send in items if you can! For Mrs. Corsino's class, some ideas include movie tickets, movie candy, popcorn, the popcorn containers you can buy at Target, a DVD of a great movie, movie stickers, etc. For Mrs. Ludwig, anything that go along with the Florida Gators will do!
Last week, my Bible study discussed the miracle of the widow and the oil found in 2 Kings 4:1-7. To paraphrase, the widow was deeply in debt because her husband died. Her debtors came to her house and told her that if she didn't pay her debt in 3 days, they would return and take her sons as slaves. She called out to a prophet of God that she knew, and he came to her home. He asked her what she had and she told him that she just had a little bit of oil. He told her to go borrow jars from all of her neighbors and to pour the oil that she had into the jars. She did what he told her to do, and the oil that she had was multiplied by the Lord to the point where all the jars were filled. Then, he told her to sell the oil to pay her debt. The thing that struck me about this story was the widow's faith. What the prophet told her to do seemed silly, but she did it anyway. The other thing that struck me was that the Lord provided for her at the moment she needed Him desperately, but not a moment before. God's timing is ALWAYS perfect, and He will always meet our needs...but we have to have Faith!
Have a great weekend!
In Christ's Name,
Mrs. Corsino and Mrs. Ludwig
PS Mrs. Corsino's STAR STUDENT next week will be JORDAN GAMBLE.
Mrs. Ludwig's will be BRYSON TRAMMELL
