Week 15 - a short week!

Happy Thanksgiving Break!  It was a great, short week this week!  Monday was a fantastic day of learning and Tuesday we had a wonderful morning off-campus with an amazing SURPRISE Thanksgiving Feast!  Thank you to everyone who donated food, items and/or time to make this possible!  


Announcements & Reminders:
*All gear is coming home today to get washed/cleaned/dried!  Please be sure to send your child back to school on December 2 with:
    *snow suit/snow pants & winter coat

*From the Office:  
-The Book Fair is coming to Pine Ridge!  Second graders will have the opportunity to shop with their class on Tuesday, December 10.If your child plans to purchase books during the school day on his/her own, please send cash for them to use. The book fair has an abundance of books, but there are also pens/pencils, posters, and other fun items to purchase.

Our weeks are really flying by!  It's already October!  A new Bible Memory page and October Spelling Words came home in homework bags this week.  These pages should be kept at home and looked at throughout the month.  We added Groups into our daily schedule - this is a great time for ALL second graders to work on improving their own reading and writing skills.  We enjoyed the beautiful weather too!  We started our Monday off with meeting some new Y5 friends from South Side.  Each second grader was partnered up with a Y5er and they completed a nature scavenger hunt and had some play time together.  It was fantastic to see so many of our second graders stepping up to be the "big kids" and teach their new buddy important forest safety rules.   We enjoyed the fall like temps this week in our playspace!   Announcements & Reminders : *Please remember to order lunch by 7am on Monday!  Remember you must order in this time frame for th...

Wow!  I cannot believe week #1 is in the books!  What a fantastic week we had as we learned more about 2nd grade, Sassafras House, and each other!  I am thankful to be on this adventure with you and your family!  Thank you for entrusting your child to me each and everyday.  We are learning about each other and becoming comfortable in our new learning spaces and with one another!  Please remember that school fatigue is real and you may experience some big emotions with your child this weekend.  It would be helpful to set aside some extra snuggle time to help him/her work through the fatigue of adjusting back to school.  Reminders : *Please remember to order lunch by 7am on Monday!  Remember you must order in this time frame for the whole week.  If you click on the three lines in the top left corner of the blog, there is a quick link to the lunch form.   *If you have not returned batons, green communication folders (with the whit...

We've already learned a lot this school year about our Forest School play norms and about our 2nd grade expectations.  The students brainstormed things they felt they could promise to try their best at each and everyday.  We have a Class Promise, a Play Promise, and an Outdoor Learning Promise.  These are great reminders on how we treat one another, treat the space we're in, and share God's love. We created our Play Promise as a way to stay safe, learn, and have fun while playing outside.   Announcements & Reminders : *Please remember to order lunch by 7am on Monday!  Remember you must order in this time frame for the whole week.  If you click on the three lines in the top left corner of the blog, there is a quick link to the lunch form.   * Please take note : On September 25 we will not be at Sassafras House all day. We are going to chapel, Farmer's Market, and then the walk-a-thon. *Friday folders are coming home today with our work from ...
