Pie in the face
Well...even though 2nd grade raised over $300 for Cadets for a Cause it still wasn't enough to beat 1st grade. You may remember what that meant ----- I got to get a pie in the face. I am proud of the kids that brought in money and thanks for your support with this great fundraiser.
FINAL reminders...please read!!!
WOW...I can't believe I have 2.5 days left with my 2A friends!!! Where did the school year go?!? Below are a few reminders about our final days together. Please read through it carefully so that you are aware of what
will be going on.
Friday, May 18: We are going to Lake Meyer for our end of the year field trip. A note went home Monday about this so I just wanted to remind you of a couple of things. Since Lake Meyer is about 30 minutes away we are taking school buses. With it being a short trip, please do NOT send electronics to school with your child for the trip. Also, I had some ask about cameras; I do not want students to bring a camera. Lake Meyer has several activities planned for the kids and I do not want them to lose or forget the camera. I will be taking pictures of everyone. The school is providing a sack lunch and snack so your child does not need to bring any food for the trip either.
Monday, May 21: In the morning we will be packing up the classroom and bringing all student materials home. I have lots of plastic bags but if you want to send a different bag to school that would be great!! They will be cleaning out lockers and bringing home all their desk supplies home. Everyone needs to bring at least their backpack. We will walk to East Park for lunch and our recess. The school is NOT providing a lunch so please send one with your child, including a drink. I am hoping the weather will cooperate with us!!!
Tuesday, May 22: In the past we have had our field day but it was decided not to have it this year. Do not worry...2nd grade teachers are planning some fun activities instead!!!! We have a 3 hour early dismissal and then let the summer fun begin :)
It sounds like it will be another gorgeous weekend...enjoy!!

LOTS coming up!!!
With the end of the year drawing closer we have changes to our schedule which includes field trips and testing days. Please check your child's folder each night for reminders that may come home. This week I did our final round of DIBELS benchmark testing. I am very proud of everyone's reading progress this year. Please continue to read with your child over the summer and encourage them to practice the various comprehension strategies they learned this year. Next week I will give them their final Lead 21 benchmark assessment and next week will also be our final week for word study. The final list will come home today. They are learning about plurals this week.
Next Wednesday is Cadets for a Cause. We will walk over to the high school to enjoy some fun activities before the big walk. Students will eat school sack lunches that day. Please do not send a sack lunch with your child that day. As part of the day’s activities, we will be doing a food drive to benefit the Howard County Food Pantry. “Admission” to the football stadium for the Cadets for
a Cause event will be 1 non-perishable canned good or personal products that are needed
for the food pantry. The following is a list of personal products that are needed by the food pantry, as well as any non-perishable canned goods.
dish soap
bar soap
shampoo
toilet paper
tuna
peanut butter
cake mix
cookie mix
macaroni and cheese boxes
paper towels
pancake mix
syrup
toothpaste
brownie mix
Thanks to those who volunteered to go on the field trip to Lake Meyer. I will send home a note about this trip next week. Since it is only to Calmar we will not be taking charter buses on this trip. If anyone is still wanting to volunteer to swim with us at the fitness center please contact me. Once again, we swim on Wednesday the 16th. I would need parents from about 12:35 - 1:40.
I hope everyone has a great weekend! Enjoy the warm weather!
