God is Love

We had a fun week in 2nd grade! Valentine's Day parties and Reading Blizzard!(Look for pictures of our blizzard day at the end of the blog post) What a great days to share with our friends and classmates in 2nd grade! We have so much to be thankful for and the goodness God showers on us is amazing! God's faithfulness is evident each and every day! It's such a blessing to see the kids grow in their faith each day and know they love Jesus! Thank you for your faithfulness in making Christian education a priority for your family! It is an honor to teach your son/daughter each day!

Homework: 
*Current reading and math pages are due Tuesday, Feb.22, 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.   
*A special Writing Homework paper will be coming home Tuesday in the Homework Folder. Please be on the look out for a salmon colored paper explaining what to do.

WORDS OF THE WEEK:
Thanks for helping your child practice these words at home: while, themselves, without, probably, yourself, near. Our new words for next week are: everything, wouldn't, need. 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. 

Field Trip:
Our class will be taking a field trip to the Outdoor Discovery Center on Thurs. morning, February 24. Please make sure your child has warm clothes for being outside.

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 sent 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.

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.
