100 Days of God's Goodness

God is so good! We celebrated 100 days of school this week and had a fun time! We ate our cereal together, had devotions and looked back on God's goodness, and then celebrated with a variety of fun activities. The students looked fabulous dressed as
100 year olds! What a blessing to be together! Enjoy a few pics from our celebration throughout the blog! 

Homework: 

*Current reading and math pages are due Monday, Feb.14, 2022. 

*On Monday, a new reading slip and math page will come home, and they will be due Tuesday, Feb. 22 because of no school on Monday February 21.

*Keep Practicing Psalm 121 together at home. 




WORDS OF THE WEEK:

Thanks for helping your child practice these words at home: while, themselves, without. Our new words for next week are: probably, yourself, near. Look for the blue sheet in your child's Friday Folder.

Please make sure to go back and practice words that your child has had trouble with in the past. 


Reading Blizzard:
The 2nd graders love to celebrate reading! One way that we will do that this year is by having a "READING BLIZZARD" during the school day on Wednesday, February 16. The students can come to school in their pajamas, and they may also bring a pillow, blanket, and a stuffed animal. We will spend a large part of the day reading, hearing stories from special guests, enjoying pizza together, and doing a variety of other fun reading/blizzard themed things!


VALENTINE'S DAY PARTY:

We are going to celebrate Valentine's Day with a small party on Monday, Feb. 14. If you choose to fill out cards be sure to do it for the whole class OR all of the students with the same gender as your child so we don't have any hurt feelings. Candy/treats are also ok as long as they are packaged things. Thanks!


SPRING CONFERENCES: 

Conferences will be coming up at the end of March (March 28 & 30 from 4-8pm). 2nd grade takes a different twist on conferences in the Spring--they are actually STUDENT LED. This means that your son/daughter joins us in conversation, and he/she leads the conference. We work hard at creating a portfolio and collecting work samples, and it is an awesome experience for you to see how your child has taken ownership of his/her learning this year. As teachers and parents, we are able to encourage and pour into your child, as well as find ways to challenge him/her for the last quarter of 2nd grade. This is a very important time together, and you'll want to save the date!

HC will be sending out an email on Monday, Feb. 14 to begin sign-ups. There will be times over the next few weeks when you cannot edit your time due to MS and HS conferences, but the link should be live on Monday morning. Watch your email for more details.


IMPORTANT DATES:

Feb. 14: Purple Reading slip due, Math Homework due

Feb. 14: Valentines Day Party

Feb. 16: Reading Blizzard

Feb. 18: Library books due

The most wonderful time of the year! It is, isn't it? We continue the hustle and bustle of all the things we need to get done at home and school, and it seems so crazy! We plan and plan and plan! God planned thousands of years in advance to make sure the wise men would see Jesus' star and find him, He planned thousands of years for Mary to bear a son. He has planned years in advance for his coming and the perfect timing of his return. God's timing is always better than outs. We continue to wait with anticipation for His coming again! Homework: Next week no new Homework. We will start up after break. Current*Purple Reading Slip and Math homework will be due Monday, December 16. *Library books are due Wednesday.

We had a fun visit from the 8th grade orchestra kids today! They played some songs for us and let the 2nd graders get up close to the instruments! They showed the 2nd graders how to play their instruments and then the 2nd graders played a song! Super fun! Look for pictures of this at the end of the blog. We had a super fun time with our grandparents/friends on Thursday! What a pleasure to see the beautiful connection between the generations! So much love to go around! The kids had so much fun being with them and singing for them!   Homework: Homework Folders came home on Monday, Oct. 7 and the work inside is due on Oct. 14.  *Reminder- 100 minutes for Reading. This can be your child reading on his/her own OR you and your child taking turns.   Math papers- time each half and see how many correct.  The goal is to get faster at our facts each time.
