Kid Town in the Gym
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!
Homework:
Reading slips and math pages are coming home on Monday May 5. They will be due Monday, May 12.
Words of the week will be coming home.
New Bible Memory coming home on Monday- Galatians
-If you have extra time around the house some great things to practice are: Writing numbers up to 100 (watch for letter/number reversals!), double digit addition/subtraction problems, names of coins and amounts, and counting piles of spare change!
Jungle Explorer of the Week:
Miss Soderman was our Jungle Explorer of the week! We had so much fun getting know more about who she is! She is good at arts and crafts, she enjoys going up north, and her favorite place is Cancun Mexico. She wants to be a teacher when she grows up and her favorite food is ice cream! We had fun learning more about Miss Soderman and who God made her to be! Thanks for sharing your poster and pictures with the class!
Tulip Time
Wednesday, May 7 will be a full day for all students due to Tulip Time removing the Wednesday parade. On Thursday, May 8, our 1st and 2nd graders will participate in the Tulip Time Kinderparade. We will have a normal school schedule in the morning. Preschoolers will be dismissed at their normal time (11:15am) with no afternoon enrichment. Kindergarteners will be dismissed at 11:30am. All Kindergarten students will need to use carpool that day, as all buses are being used for getting students to the parade. First and second graders will remain at school, eat a sack lunch from home (hot lunch is NOT provided), have recess, change into their marching apparel (if they choose not to wear it to school that day), and be bussed to the parade route.
An peach colored paper with information about Tulip Time was sent home earlier, if you could send that in ASAP that would so great!
End of Year Field Trip:
Our class will be going to Windmill Island and Dutch Village as a part of our Social Studies Unit on Holland history and as our end of year field trip. We will head to Windmill Island first and explore, then head to Dutch Village for a tour, Dutch dancing, and some free time in the park. Students should wear good walking shoes and dress for the weather. Students will need a sack lunch as well. I am in need of 6 parents to join us for the field trip as a chaperone for groups. The cost is $13 per parent if you would like to join us. Sign up with the link below. Thanks for your help!

End of the Year Chapel
Save the date! We will have a special end of the year Chapel to send off our 2nd graders on the last day of school, Wednesday, June 4. Come gather with us from 10:25-11:15am for a time of worship together. We’ll be out on the playground, so bring a lawn chair if you’d like (if there’s rain we’ll move it to the gym). After chapel, Preschool students will be dismissed, and K-2 students will have a quick 15 minutes to close out the year in the classrooms with their teacher, and their dismissal will follow at 11:30am.
Miss Soderman's Last Day:
On May 27 it will be Miss Soderman's last day. We will have a small party and say goodbye to her. If your child would like to make a special card for her they are welcome to make one at home and take it to school. I can hide it until that day if they want to bring it in earlier. :)
