Last Full Week of School
Field Day is this Friday. PLEASE WEAR PURPLE for our second grade color. Please remember to send sunscreen, a hat, water bottle filled from home (these will go home Wednesday) and tennis shoes. We will be outside most of the day from 8:30-1:45. Thank you to those of you who have volunteered to help out that day.
Thank you so much for all of the beautiful flowers you sent in last week during teacher appreciation. It was a nice surprise seeing all the various flowers come in. They made a beautiful bouquet for our classroom. Thank you again for your kindness.
Please send an extra bag to school with your child. On Tuesday and Wednesday next week we will be cleaning out our lockers and taking home all of our supplies.
This week we will be finishing up plants tomorrow. We will learn about several non-fiction studies like rain forests, hurricanes, earthquakes, and tornadoes. We are putting our comprehension strategies we have learned this year to good use as we dive into this non-fiction literature.

Happy Friday!
We had a wonderful week learning about plants. The children shared several stories of planting experiences at home. I loved hearing them! We learned about the life cycle of a plant. We read about sunflowers and even got to taste them! What a healthy and delicious treat they are. Next week we will learn about trees. Our last spelling test and vocabulary test will be on Friday, May 11.
In math we finished fractions and are now learning about place value-3 digit numbers with addition. We hope to finish this up and touch on multiplication before the year ends.
We wished Ms. Accomando good luck yesterday on her last day. She is officially a graduate now! We were very fortunate she spent her student teaching time with us. She was very thankful for the basket of gifts we gave her as a class. We got her some of her favorite pens, bulletin board trimmings, earth day decor, notecards, stickers, and some posters and charts for her classroom. Thank you again for your generosity in helping us congratulate her on her graduation. I know she is so excited to see you at her graduation party on Saturday.
We have made such great improvements this year in math and reading. I'm so pleased with the growth that these children have made. Thank you so much for working hard with your child at home and encouraging them to always do their best. I'm so fortunate so get to work with such wonderful families. Thank you again to the parents who committed their time to helping out in our classroom. I'm very blessed!
Have a fantastic weekend! Only 13 more days!
