Teddy Bear Picnic

Last Post of the Year

I can't believe that our year together in seocnd grade is coming to an end. What an exciting and eventful year. It was my pleasure to be your child's second grade teacher. I hope you all have a wonderfully fun and safe summer. Here are a couple end of the year announcements:

• Author's Celebration: Families are welcome to celebrate our writing for the last time this year. Mark your calendars for Thursday June 11 at 2:45pm. You are welcome to take your child home when the celebration is over.
• Teddy Bear Picnic: The majority voted for a Teddy Bear Picnic as our final reward for filling the pebble jar. Next Tuesday, we will eat our lunch outside. Cold lunches are preferred, but kids can still get hot lunch. Small-Medium sized Teddy Bears are invited.
• Pizza Party: 2nd grade will be having a Pizza Party on Friday June 12th. Your child will only need a drink. Milk will be available!
  
• Packing Up: I will have the kids clean out their desks on Thursday. Please send a bag to carry home supplies. If you do not plan to use markers, crayons, dry erase markers, colored pencils...please have your child leave them for the classroom- Thank you!
• Pictures: If you are interested in having a cd of photos from the year, please let me know and I will burn you a copy.
• Finishing up: We took our last math assessment today. We finished our fairy tale unit in reading, but I am afraid not everyone will finish writing their fairy tale. This would be a great summer story!

Lastly, I want to give a big thank you to Joanne New, our room mom and all the parents who volunteered either in our classroom or provided outside help. I can not tell you enough how much your time and efforts mean to me and the kids!
