Happy Friday! How are we in the final stretch of school, approaching our last 12 days together? We still have lots of fun things to pack into our time together. God is SO good--we have SO much to celebrate! We have lots of fun end of year things going on in the next couple of weeks!
We looked at some artifacts from the past and learned how we can use these to learn about people and places from long ago. Ask your students what some of them were!
Homework for the year is all done!
Dioramas:
The students have finished their Dioramas and they will be on display in the Library starting Monday afternoon. Feel free to come in and take a peek during pick up or drop off times or even lunch if you have a moment! The students did a great job on them!
FIELD DAY:
Field day this year is going to be held on the afternoon of May 28. Please send along water bottles for your children, dress for the weather, slather on sunscreen, and pray for a nice day!
MOVIN' UP DAY:
Thursday, June 4 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 teacher, 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!
END OF THE YEAR CHAPEL:
Mark your calendars! You won't want to miss this! On the last day of school, June 5, we will have a special "goodbye" chapel for the 2nd graders at 10:25. 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.
Paw Paw Park Field Trip:
Our class along with the other 2nd grade classes in the district are learning about being a good citizen and how 2nd graders can make a difference by helping their community and being good stewards of God's creation. We will be heading to Paw Paw Park to help remove invasive plant species from the park premises. These species can cause damage and disturb the natural plant species in Michigan. We will be there working for about an hour along with taking a hike. Students will need to wear long pants and have closed toe shoes for the trip. We will be going the morning of May 21. Maybe have bug repellent on your child if they are prone to bug or mosquito bites.
The 2nd graders will be heading to the Cappon House and Settlers House, Windmill Island, and a park for lunch on June 3. We will need 3 chaperones for our trip if you are able to join us for the fun! Please sign up below if you can make it!
Thanks for your help!
