Parents, you are the reason your kids are so great! Thank you so much for all of your support and help this year!
If your child is going to buy lunch, please make sure there is money in their account. We had several slips come home last week with empty balances.
If your child will not be at school this Thursday, please send in a self addressed stamped envelope so the office can mail their report card.
I have been gradually sending things home. Please make sure your child is cleaning out their backpack at night so they aren't overloaded the next day.
Please email me with any questions.
I hope you have a wonderful Summer with your family!

2nd Grade Honors Day Program is Monday, May 19th 9:30-10:00
If you are attending the Honors Day Program Monday, just sign in at the office and go down to the cafeteria to get a good seat. We will meet you there.
I can't thank you all enough for all of the treats and surprises you sent for Teacher Appreciation last week. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!
You sure do know how to make a teacher feel loved and appreciated! Also a great big thank-you to Mrs. Nyberg for taking the kids to lunch and then staying with them during the luncheon Friday.
Story this Week: Jingle Dancer
Genre: Realistic Fiction
Phonics: Prefixes mis-, mid-
Voc. Strategy: Context Clues
Comp. Skill: Character, Setting, Plot
Comp. Strategy: Prior Knowledge
Grammar: Introduce the Paragraph
We did something a little different last week that the kids have asked to do again this week. I gave all the homework out Monday morning, any pages etc. The kids can turn it in as they wish as long as it is all turned in by Friday morning. Some of them turned it all in Tuesday morning, and others waited to turn it all in by Friday. They get to pick.
If anybody happens to have a banana at your house that you can send in Monday morning for our butterflies we would so appreciate it. This is something a little different we wanted to try before we release them. Last week they enjoyed oranges and sugar water. We would also love to put some flowers in the net for them. We plan on releasing them Tuesday afternoon.
Signed papers will come home one last time this Thursday.
Please email me with any questions you may have. I hope your week is SUPER!

Continue Working on Multiplication facts
I have been so impressed with how quickly the kids are learning their multiplication facts. We have a multiplication rap we have been listening to daily, and the kids are saying the answers quickly now. Continue to work on those facts at home and over the Summer. This will help so much in 3rd grade.
Please make note of the dates to the right of our Blog for upcoming events as we near the end of the school year.
I am so glad so many of you were able to join us on our Lanark Field Trip. The kids told me that was their favorite one for the entire school year.
Story this Week: Cowboys
Genre: Narrative Nonfiction
Phonics: Suffixes -ness, -less
Voc. Strategy: Word Structure
Comp. Skill: Cause and Effect
Comp. Strategy: Graphic Organizer
Grammar: commas in compound sentences
In Math we are continuing with Geometric Shapes.
In Science we are anxiously awaiting the progress of our chrysalis EVERY SINGLE DAY! We are so excited about this process, we can hardly stand it! If your child brought home the cup that contained several different scientific things that were part of the metamorphosis, I apologize. Once we moved each chrysalis to the butterfly nets, some of them couldn't part with their first habitat. :)
Please email me with any questions you may have. I am always available if you would like to sit down and have a conference concerning your child.
Have a SUPER week!
