Last Post of the Year!

Hello Families, this is our last post of your child's second grade career! They are going to be third graders in one week- so crazy! It has been my privilege to be your child's second grade teacher. I will miss each and every kiddo! I have told them that they may not ignore me in the hallways next year- they must smile and wave:) It is always a hard transition for me every year to let my class go. I am grateful that I will be at Tonawanda teaching second grade so that I can still see everyone. Thank you to everyone for your support throughout the year, especially while I was away on maternity leave! I hope everyone has a fabulous summer!



Reader's Theatre: You are all invited to attend our Reader's Theatre on Monday at 2:45 in our classroom. The kids will show off their fluency as readers while they read a part in a fairy tale readers theatre. Ask your child which part he/she has.
Bag: Please send a bag with your child next week Wednesday. We will take home all our materials on Wednesday, rather than the last day, Thursday.
Extra Materials: If anyone is considering throwing away school supplies left over from this year, please consider donating it to the classroom. I am in need of scissors, markers, crayons and colored pencils. Please let your child know if he/she can donate materials to the classroom.
Reading: While summer days can fill up very quickly, it is important to make time every day to read. We worked hard all year long in reading; it's important to maintain and practice good reading skills throughout the summer. Here are some suggestions for summer reading:
1. Participate in your library's summer reading program- it's free!
2. Participate in Barnes and Noble or Borders summer reading program- it's free and your child will receive a free book or gift card at the end of summer
3. Do the reading Bingo sheets in your child's folder today
To quick off your child's reading for summer, I am gifting each child a book. It is both a thank you for a great year and a motivation to continue reading!
