April 15-May 6

Hello Families! We thought spring was here and then... Swooosh! Winter weather returned (We're working on adding sound words to our writing!) Our class filled our pebble jar this week-Yay! We earned a Teddy Bear picnic- we'll eat our lunch outside with a stuffed animal from home(kids can have school lunch or cold lunch). The stuffed animal must fit into a backpack. I told the kids we'll wait until next week to schedule a day. We are hoping for good weather Wed or Thurs next week. Poem in My Pocket Day: We had a wonderful day sharing our poems with our buddies, first graders and other teachers in our school. Ask your child to read you their poem with good fluency. Poetry Cafe: Mark your calendars! Our second grade Poetry Cafe is scheduled for Friday May 6 at 2:45. All families are welcome! Field Trips: We have 3 upcoming field trips to end the year. #1 Brewer Game on Wed May 18. Justin's dad will be joining us! #2 Ye Olde School House Mon May 23rd. We have 3 chaperones- both Ethans moms and Abby's mom. #3 Our walk to Elm Grove Village Day there is no date set yet. I will need about 3 chaperones for that trip as well. Thank you to all the volunteers for the entire year! Reminders: Schloastic Book Orders were due today. If you are still interested in ordering you can either order online or email me your list of book by Sunday. Ask Your Child: What is happening in the class read aloud The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane? What is a similie? (using the words "like" or "as" to compare- often used in poetry) What are some of your favorite poems you have written? How did you get the plunger to pop-off during your science experiment? Why did it happen?
