We had a fabulous time with our Reading Blizzard! We enjoyed lots of fun things and read a lot of books! Mrs. Dykstra was our mystery reader and we had pizza and cupcakes as treats! Look for pictures throughout the blog. It was fun to have the Living Hope Singers join us for Praise today! They sang some songs with us, and sang some songs for us! They did a wonderful job and it was a blessings to see young kids and older kids praise God together!
Thanks so much for letting me be a part of your child's life each day. It is a joy seeing them grow and change, and I find it hard to believe we are almost three fourths of the way through the year!
Homework:
Monday a new reading slip and math homework page will come home and be due- March 10.
*Matthew 28 is coming home on Monday. Please practice this beautiful passage as a family!
*Look for the blue paper in your child's Homework Folder with our sight words!
Brynley was our special Jungle Explorer of the Week! Thanks for sharing your poster and pictures with our class. We enjoyed getting to know you and learning that you are good at gymnastics. We love that you want to be a Kindergarten teacher when you grow up! Your favorite place is Allegan Event and your favorite food is ravioli. You are so special to God and to us, Brynley, and we loved getting to know more about you this week.
Hand2Hand:
South Side will be partnering with the Hand2Hand ministry to help support kids who need extra help having enough food on the weekends. Each grade is collecting items we will for the snack packs for Hand2Hand, so they can pass them out to students at local schools. Thanks so much for your support! Look for a letter in your child's Friday Folder. 2nd graders are collecting fruit snacks. Items can be brought to school starting Monday, Feb. 24.
March Is Reading Month!
As part of the national celebration of reading month, West Michigan WhiteCaps is providing a free optional Reading Tracker/Ticket Order Form.
- Students and/or their grown-ups keep track of reading minutes in March.
- Those who participate are eligible for 2 free tickets to select WhiteCaps home games.
All information regarding this incentive and how to order free tickets is included on the WhiteCaps 2025 Reading Club Form. These forms will come home on Monday in your child's Homework Folder.
SPRING CONFERENCES:
Conferences will be coming up at the end of March (March 20 & 25 from 4-8pm). 2nd grade takes a different twist on conferences in the Spring--they are actually STUDENT LED. This means that your son/daughter joins us in conversation, and he/she leads the conference. We work hard at creating a portfolio and collecting work samples, and it is an awesome experience for you to see how your child has taken ownership of his/her learning this year. This means that all 2nd grade conferences are in person. As teachers and parents, we are able to encourage and pour into your child, as well as find ways to challenge him/her for the last quarter of 2nd grade. This is a very important time together, and you'll want to save the date. Look for a link to be coming soon for sign ups!
Book Order:
A book order packet came home last Friday. If you are interested in ordering some books from Scholastic please order online by March 3! This is a great way to add books to your home library and it earns books for our classroom!
