Dear Parents,

The school year is almost over.  I can’t believe it.  It sure has passed quickly for me.  We have had a super class this year!  I am very impressed with the students.  They worked hard and really progressed academically.  I hate to move them on to 3^rd grade.

Second Grade Program:  The second grade classes will be performing an end-of-the year program on Monday May 6th at 1:30.   TODAY!  You are invited to attend.  It should last around 45 minutes.

Reading Parents:  This is the last week that reading parents need to come.  I sure appreciate all you’ve done throughout the year to help the students progress in their reading.   We will still have centers next week but our daily schedule is getting chaotic for some days.   

Spelling:  Watch for spelling words to come home today.  The test will be on Thursday.

Homework:  Watch for homework to come home on Wednesday.

Reading Celebration:  Just a reminder that the PTA sponsored Reading Celebration is happening next Monday May 20th.  Your child needs to return the purple reading sheets each week so that we can mark reading completed.  Our class won the traveling pig trophy for being the class with the most minutes read this past week in

K – 2.  Congratulations to the students.  It would be great to win the trophy again, 

Library:  Just a reminder that all library books should have been returned last week.  Also, all take-home library books should have been returned last week.

Field Day:  Field day will be on Tuesday May 21st.  Please have your child wear sunscreen.  They may also wear a hat.  We will be outside for most of the day. 

Last Day of School:  Friday May 24^h is the last day of school.  School will be dismissed at 2:30 p.m.

Science:  We will complete our unit on plants this week and start on matter.

Birthdays:  We will celebrate Ezra,s birthday  Monday May 6^th.

Thanks once again for all that do to make our class so wonderful.

Sincerely,

Brenda Haight
