Tulip Time

We had lots of fun marching together as a class in the Tulip Time parade! Thanks for helping us get your kiddos ready to go...they did a great job! So much fun to celebrate part or our heritage and to celebrate community! The kids did such a fabulous job! Check out pictures of our science lesson and pictures of the parade at the end of the blog.


HOMEWORK:

Reading slips and story problems are due on Monday May 16.

Our final Math Homework page and final purple Reading slip (due May 23) will be coming home on Monday. 


FIELD TRIPS:

We will be visiting the Fire Station the morning of May 19th. 


We will be going on our last field trip on Monday, May 23. We will leave school at 9:10 am, we will visit Graafschap CRC's Heritage Center, tour the Cappon House, and eat lunch in the park to name a few things! We will arrive back to school around 2:30pm. 


FIELD DAY:

Field day this year is going to be held on the afternoon of June 1. Please bring water bottles for your children, dress for the weather, pack sunscreen, and pray for a nice day!


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!


LIBRARY BOOKS:

All books were due today. Please double check your child has returned all their books.


END OF THE YEAR CHAPEL:

Mark your calendars! You won't want to miss this! On the last day of school, June 3, we will have a special "goodbye" chapel for the 2nd graders at 10:45. This 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! It's a touching and VERY memorable chapel! Try to make it if you can and bring the tissues! We will be outside so take your lawn chairs along!

Dismissal will shortly follow this at 11:30.

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!
