This will be the last blog update for the school year! I might just post some end of the year pictures though! We had a fun time on our field trip to the Cappon House and The Heritage Center at Graafschap CRC. Oh, and Captain Sundae was a fun time too. :)  We had a fun time with our 5th grade buddies on Wednesday. So fun to getting to know the 5th graders this year! Check out all the pictures of our fun week at the end of the blog!

I am so thankful for your love and support during this year! Your encouragement has blessed me so much...thank you. Thanks too, for entrusting your children under my care...they have been a joy to teach!


Summer Packets:
I have summer packets available for your child to keep up with reading and math skills over the summer. These will be coming home next week Friday on our last day of school. Lots of fun activities to use over the summer!

Art Bags:
Your child came home with lots of goodies from Art class this week. Please return the bag that carried all their materials home back to school by Tues., May 31.

Movin' Up Day:
Tuesday, May 31 will be a special day in 2nd grade. It's MOVING UP DAY! This means that your child will get an opportunity to visit Pine Ridge, meet next year's 3rd grade teachers, and go on a school tour. This has always been a great experience in the past, and it helps settle the nervous butterflies that students may have about the changes to a new building. I'm sure you'll hear lots of great stories about the students' visit!

FIELD DAY:

Field day this year is going to be held on the afternoon of June 1. Please send a water bottle for your child, dress for the weather, lather your child with sunscreen before they come to school, and pray for a nice day!



Thursday, June 2:
This is the day we do a lot of our cleaning in the classroom. Please send a reusable bag with your child's name on it so he/she will have a place to collect all the treasures that have been stored up! :) Please have it to school by June 1.

Chapel:
Mark your calendars! On the last day of school, June 3, there will be a special "goodbye" chapel for the 2nd graders from about 10:30-11:15am. This will be a beautiful time where we come together as students, teachers and parents and thank God for the gift of South Side and ask His blessing on the 2nd graders as they move on to Pine Ridge! We're planning this as an outdoor chapel, so pray for great weather and bring your lawn chair! It's always a special time to gather to celebrate our sweet 2nd graders, and we hope you'll be able to make it!
Dismissal will follow shortly at 11:30.


Report Cards:
Final quarter report cards will go live on the last day of school. Make sure to keep an eye out for the email amidst of all the excitement!

Tutor List:
A list of tutors who are willing to work with students over the summer was attached in the email I sent for the blog. Feel free to contact them if interested in having them work with your child this summer.

Batons: 
Batons will be coming home on the last day of school as well!

May 31: Movin' Up Day

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.
