Important Dates

Emmitt was our mystery reader on Friday!

   This school year is flying past us! We have many important dates and deadlines coming up, so make sure to check the newsletter each week. Today, your child brought home a permission slip for our end of the year celebration. There are 2 forms that have to be returned by this Thursday. Unfortunately, this trip has a quick turn around because Pump It Up requires a deposit. 

    Our trip to see the Redbirds play is this Wednesday. Please make sure to send your child with their booster seat. All children in second grade must have a booster seat. In the past, we have been able to borrow a couple of seats from the office, but since the whole school is going on this trip please don't plan on that being an option. Also, if your child did not purchase a meal voucher, don't forget to send them with a sack lunch. Everything they bring should be something disposable, so they don't have to keep up with anything extra. The weather forecast for Wednesday is looking good. They are predicting a high of 79!

Games Galore

After their hard work this morning, they really enjoyed relaxing while playing games. Tomorrow is our last day of testing and our floats and flick day!! They should bring a can of their favorite carbonated beverage. I will provide the ice-cream and sherbet!!

Jordan had the share bag today!

Smarties!

I am so proud of their hard work today! Don't forget to send them with a beach towel tomorrow, so we can enjoy reading outdoors. They had a blast painting today after we finished testing. However, most of them will tell you chewing gum was their favorite part!

Thank You!!!

Thank you so much for all the wonderful birthday wishes and treats! Today has been full of surprises!! Your kind words and support mean the world to me. Your sweet children have made this a magical day!

Tiger Shirts

Message from Ms. Larrick: The tiger shirts will be painted during the regular art class times the week after April Break (April 10 -  13). I need cardboard and newspaper for this project.

We go to art on Fridays, so our day will be April 13th. 

Check out the spelling page for the spelling word lists for the next couple of weeks. Also, I will put the wordia passwords on there for each week.

Check out the calendar page for important dates for the rest of the school year. 

STAR Reading and Spelling

Happy Thursday!

I have an exciting new website for the students to use to practice their spelling words at home. The 5th grade students have really enjoyed using it, and I think our class will love it too. Here is the link for the game I created this week  http://www.wordia.com/play/1575/miller Lowercase miller is their password to play. Please have them check it out!!!

Your child will be bringing home their latest STAR Reading report in their communication folder today. This report includes their individual reading level and is yours to keep.

New book order forms went home this week. Please submit all orders by April 4th. For online ordering information, please check out the Scholastic page of our blog.

The class is really taking their new challenge seriously. They already have 26 books towards their goal, and we have only been back in school for 4 days!! I will be sending home a printout in their communication folders tomorrow of the scores they have made on all the books they have tested on this year. I am so proud of their hard work! Please continue to encourage them to read every night. Geronimo Stilton is a very popular series for them right now.

Since it is close to the end of the school year, CSPN will be going back to their cash only policy. Please keep that in mind when you pay CSPN.

As always, thank you for everything you do!!! You guys make an amazing support system!!!

Pajamas, Pizza and Books Oh My!

Happy 100 Book Celebration!

I am so proud of their hard work, so today we will celebrate. They look so cute in their pajamas! I have issued a new challenge to them for the last 9 weeks. They have to read 250 chapter books! I don't think they will have any trouble meeting this goal before the end of the school year. They were given fresh ar sheets for their folders, so they can write down all the reading they do over spring break!

I will keep their agenda books and folders over the break. Their ThinkShow projects are coming home today. They received lots of compliments on their hard work!

Thank you Michaila for the beautiful flowers!

Enjoy your spring break!!! See you in 2 weeks!
