There is no school on Friday due to it being Good Friday.
This week's spelling test will be on Thursday. It will be on the list of words beginning with "light." Your child will also be responsible for the words he or she missed on this past Friday's test.
Practice + and - facts
We are still learning new things and constantly reviewing what we've already learned. I have started on assessments.
Reading and math groups end on April 25, but our work in the classroom continues until May 23rd.
We do need more snacks, please.

Your child is bringing home a list of the third one hundred Fry sight words. (These are the most frequently used words in reading and writing. I've sent home the first two lists earlier in the year.) We are going to use these as our spelling words for the next five weeks. You'll see how the 100 words are divided up on the paper. PLEASE KEEP THIS PAPER IN A SAFE PLACE SO YOU'LL HAVE IT FOR FIVE WEEKS. :) The kids should already know how to spell most of these words, so they will have to really learn only a few each week.
The kids are going to write their words in cursive on a half sheet of handwriting paper. This is not due until Thursday.
Next week is only a four day week since we do not come to school on Good Friday.
THERE IS AN IMPORTANT FIELD TRIP NOTE IN THE TAKE HOME FOLDER. Please read it carefully, sign it, and return it tomorrow. Once I've seen your signature, I'll send it back home for you to keep.
The next seven weeks are crammed packed full with lots of fun, extra things to do with the kids. In addition to pretty weather, ball practice, dance recitals, and ALL the other things, the end of the school year is hard for everyone. We don't stop working until we're finished with everything. Today we started on two brand new skills, and we still have several others to start on in the near future. Plus we have to keep reviewing what we've already learned because that's assessed, too. Please help me by talking to your child staying focused and responsible about their school work during these last few weeks. I am sooooo proud of what we've accomplished so far this year. I adore my Whiz Kids and want them to end the year being the best that they can be.
We will continue to have five minute timed tests on + and - through the first week in May. I hope to have assessments finished by then, too, but that will depend on all the interruptions we have. :)
APRIL 17 is Mr. M's last day. We'll say our farewells with a chocolate cookie cake, drinks, and handmade cards from the kids.
MAY 13--FIELD TRIP TO ROCK CITY
MAY 14--WE GO TO CMS FOR A PLAY.
MAY 16--JUMPY DAY
MAY 19--FIELD DAY
MAY 21 (9:00 AND 1:30) SECOND GRADE PLAY/PROGRAM
MAY 23--LAST DAY...EARLY DISMISSAL...REPORT CARDS
THERE'S MORE TO COME! 33 days and counting! :(
