We have begun our lessons on Holy Week. So far it's been a special experience learning and studying the Holy Week stories with your child. The conversations we are having are so meaningful. Ask your son/daughter what they've learned about our stories so far: Jesus Triumphant Entry into Jerusalem, Jesus Cleansing the Temple, and Jesus' teachings in the Temple. We will learn some deep things together, and I look forward to these teachable moments to share God's awesome gift of love for us, and what it means as we learn how Jesus fulfilled God's plan of salvation! We serve such a loving Savior!
Homework:
*Current reading and math pages are due Monday, March 18.
*On Monday, a new reading slip and math page will come home, and they will be due Monday, March 25.
-Continue to practice Matthew 28.
New words of the week will come home. We will start our last 15 words!
Conferences:
I am looking forward to a special conference time with you AND your child! Remember, that these conferences are STUDENT LED and your child must come with you. The students have worked hard in preparation for this night! Be sure encourage them before and after the conference and acknowledge their hard work!
This is such an awesome time of celebrating the 2nd grade growth that we've seen, and also coming together to challenge your child in the last few months of 2nd grade. One question your child will ask you at conferences will be, "Mom & Dad, what do you think I'm good at?" Think about this ahead of time, and come ready with a mental list of some of the ways that you want to encourage your child in the special way God has created him/her to be!
I have a family event that is conflicting with conferences for Thursday night. I will be there until 6 on Thursday night. Looking at my schedule there are still lots of slots open, but if for some reason you are having a very difficult time making something work please email me and I will work something out to get together. I apologize for the inconvenience!!
Rainforest Bake Sale:
The first graders at South Side are excited to be hosting a Rainforest Bake Sale. The bake sale will start on Monday March 18th and run each day of the week during the lunch hour. Each baked good will cost .25. All funds raised will be donated to help save the amazing animals of the rainforest! Start saving your quarters now, send them with your child to school next week, and plan to buy some goodies at the first grade rainforest bake sale! Thank you for your support!

Students have two options of groups to participate in. Please fill out this survey and let us know which section your child will be participating in.
Please make sure you fill out one form for each 1st-4th grade student you have by Monday, March 25th so we can ensure we have the correct props for the parade. If you have any questions, please email Christy.
