Happy Friday! How are we in the final stretch of school, approaching our last 12 days together? We still have lots of fun things to pack into our time together. God is SO good--we have SO much to celebrate! We have lots of fun end of year things going on in the next couple of weeks! Homework: We are all done for the year! Keep using Galatians 5 for a devotion this month! I have a summer packet that will be coming home that last week of school. Feel free to use it to keep up on skills your child may need to practice. Consider a tutor if your child has struggled in math or reading this year, or if they need to keep up on skills! When I have a link for available tutors i will send it out! Make sure all library books are returned! We need to have them inventoried and then ready to pack for the big move! Students should bring a large shopping bag by June 1, as we will clean out our desks and lockers and send home a lot of our stuff. We will keep a pencil box and a couple of things for the d...

Happy Friday! What a fantastic week we have had in second grade! Kid Town has been a success and the students have enjoyed it immensely! We have seen wonderful examples of generous spirits and students who are polite and caring business boys/girls, and they have also been wonderful shoppers with a lot of patience. They have had a ton of fun learning about businesses and economics! Thanks so much to all the parent helpers who came in and were a banker so kids could get paid, glued items together, helped with ideas, ran stores, and helped us pack things up!! We could not have done it without all of you!!!! Your support is appreciated and we are so thankful for the wonderful, supportive community here at South Side!   Homework: Reading slips and math pages are coming home on Monday May 4. They will be due Monday, May 11. We will have our test on May 7 for the last 15 words. Please practice any words your child may have trouble spelling.

It's here and it's in action! Kid Town "creating" has been a hit this week! It's been so fun to see the students use their God-given gifts and talents to make and create things. What imaginations they have! We've been working hard to create things for the "Trash for Cash" store, handing in homework to receive money, and today the students even had the opportunity to tithe from their own wallets! We are once again reminded why this is such a great couple of weeks in our Christ-centered school! It is such a neat teaching experience!   Homework Reminders: A new packet of special Kid Town homework is coming home today. NOTE THAT ALL KID TOWN HOMEWORK IS OPTIONAL, but will be a big part of your child's "income." It will work the same as last week SO PLEASE SAVE THE BIBLE MEMORY PAGE (new verses are on the back). Bible memory verses will stop after Tuesday and your child will only need to hand in the reading/math half sheets. * Our new Bible ...
