We flew through our first week! Your child is learning the daily routines and settling in nicely! It feels great to have the classroom buzzing with excitement, curiosity, and eagerness to learn new things about our great God and the world he has placed us in! Thank you for sharing your child with me each day! We are going to try to keep this entry short and sweet with a few important things for you to note.



Streams of Living Water:

Our theme for this year is Streams of  Living Water. We have been talking about our theme and how we as a class can live this out together this year. Mrs. Wyma talked to us during chapel on Wednesday about our theme. God fills us up with his Living Water.  We can be a refreshing light in our world and share this life giving water with those around us.

Bible Memory: 

Our first chapel of the year!
With September approaching, we will be practicing Psalm 8, our September Bible Memory. A
copy for your fridge will come home today. :) Please try to practice this at home. Remember that we will recite this together various ways at school, but it would be great to have the practice at home as well. This passage is being done K-12 to create a passionate commitment to faith and development of the whole school body.

Batons:
Please make sure to return your child's Baton to school by Sept. 1.  

Homework:
We are all busy settling in to new routines, from school to soccer practices, etc. so we will ease into the year together. We recognize that families are busy with Labor Day weekend plans as well, so we'll start Reading and Math Homework after Labor Day.

Shoes:
Please try to remember to have your child have BOTH indoor and outdoor shoes. We are giving grace this first week but we do need to make this a priority! Thank you!

*THANK YOU for your love, prayers, and support as we begin this new school year together! I am so blessed to spend each day with your child!

Important Dates:
Aug. 29: Return Friday Folders
Aug. 31: Convocation
Sept. 1: Batons due back to school
Sept. 2 & 5: No School: Labor Day Weekend
Sept. 21-22: South Side Picture Day-more info coming later

Happy Friday! What a fantastic week we have had in second grade! Kid Town has been a success and the students have enjoyed it immensely! We have seen wonderful examples of generous spirits and students who are polite and caring business boys/girls, and they have also been wonderful shoppers with a lot of patience. They have had a ton of fun learning about businesses and economics! Thanks so much to all the parent helpers who came in and were a banker so kids could get paid, glued items together, helped with ideas, ran stores, and helped us pack things up!! We could not have done it without all of you!!!! Your support is appreciated and we are so thankful for the wonderful, supportive community here at South Side!   Gathered for National Day of Prayer!
