It's been a great week in second grade! We had a field trip and we celebrated 2-22-22! We enjoyed fun activities for 2-22-22 and had a dance party in the gym at 2:22. We had a fun, but brisk time at the Outdoor Discovery Center and learned some cool things about God's Creation!The students continue to grow and learn new things each day! It is such a pleasure to work with them and see their growth. 
Thanks for all your support this year and thank you for partnering with me to help your child grow. Enjoy the pics at the end of the blog of our fun time at ODC!

 Homework: 

*Current reading and math pages are due Monday, Feb.28, 2022. 
*On Monday, a new reading slip and math page will come home, and they will be due Monday, March 7. 
*A special Writing Homework paper came home on Tuesday in the Homework Folder. Please return your child's envelope on Monday, February 28!
New Bible Memory will be coming home on Monday for the Month of March. It is the Easter story from Matthew 28. 
-If you have extra time around the house some great things to practice are: Writing the upper and lowercase alphabet as neat as you can, writing numbers up to 100 (watch for letter/number reversals!), trying some triple digit subtraction problems, and counting piles of spare change!

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

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.

Attention Holland Public School bus riders! Due to their Winter Break, there will be no HPS transportation available on Monday, February 28.
