Dear Parents,
Hi! HAPPY SEPTEMBER! It was so nice to see all of you last night at Open House! I really enjoyed the opportunity to spend time with you and to celebrate your children and the year ahead!
What a fun filled week we had here at NCS in Second Grade! Yesterday, we had a superstar named Alexandra Amor visit our class! She started her visit by playing her guitar and singing Amazing Grace. She talked to the children about how they are all STARS and can be anything they want to be! This fit in GREAT with what we've been discussing at school---how God has a Purpose for all of our lives and how we can SHINE for Him!!!
We also began our Reading Unit called "Let's Read!" Throughout this unit, we will focus on how much FUN reading is and talk about some different things that we read! Here are some other things we learned:
*Writing - We finished writing our autobiographies and wrote Apple Acrostic Poems. We wrote thank you letters to Alex, too!
*Math - We focused on telling time, and we also
*Science - We continued learning about sea life. We also learned about the Scientific Method and did a fun experiment with an egg and salt water. Ask your child to tell you about it!!!
*Social Studies - We talked some more about American Holidays and learned why we celebrate the Fourth of July and Labor Day. We began learning about Johnny
Appleseed, too! Today we did a webquest and made apple pizzas to kick off the unit!
*Language Arts - We reviewed the difference between common and proper nouns. Then, we learned what a pronoun is and discussed the difference between a subject pronoun and an object pronoun.
*Bible - We discussed part of the story of 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 w!
Here are some announcements and reminders:
*THERE WILL BE NO SCHOOL NEXT MONDAY IN CELEBRATION OF LABOR DAY! HAVE FUN!
*Mrs. Neri has asked all of the teachers to make sure children are in dress code. Please check the handbook if you have any questions! Basically, each child should wear a NCS uniform shirt and UNIFORM pants or shorts each day. On Fridays, JEANS (or jean shorts) may be worn with spirit shirts or witness wear shirts. Please be sure to follow the haircut rule, too!
*If your child is in Mrs. Corsino's class, please send him to school with a handheld mirror if you haven't done so yet. We will be using these for our chapel, so we will keep them at school until then. Any size is fine, as long as it's not too big! The perfect size would be the size of the ones they sell for lockers. They can have handles, but they don't need to. THANKS! (Please don't send in anything valuable. We will be very careful...but there's a chance that mirrors can break! :o)
*We will be celebrating Johnny Appleseed Day on Friday, September 24th. (*tentative date) 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!
During my personal devotion time at home, I've been reading in the Book of Psalms. Recently, I read Psalm 29, and verse 11 really caught my attention. It says, "The Lord gives strength to His people; the Lord blesses His people with peace." Sometimes, I get so caught up in all the things I have to do that I forget to look to the Lord for help. But if we just take a moment to turn to our Heavenly Father and pour out our hearts to Him, He promises to give us strength..and peace. And, as our sweet second graders can tell you from last week's lesson, God always keeps His promises!!!
In Christ's Name,
Mrs. Corsino and Mrs. Ludwig
PS Mrs. Corsino's STAR STUDENT next week will be JACK FELDMAN.
Mrs. Ludwig's will be JAIME.
SECRET WORD: APPLES
***Mrs. Swango asked me to remind everyone about Cameron's birthday party this Saturday at Planet Jump from 10-12. She asked me to ask you all to RSVP so that she'll know how many people to expect! HAVE FUN AT THE PARTY!!!
