Week 37

Whew - what a week with a lot of things happening - buddies, off-campus, chapel, and field day!  Wowza - what a wonderful time!  We started off our week with a Y5s buddy celebration!  This was our last time being with our buddies this year!  We enjoyed reading together, playing, and having lunch by the grass pond!  












Our forest is so GREEN! 




On Thursday we had a wonderful afternoon of field day!  It wasn't raining or too hot!  It was great to spend all afternoon outside with our K-1 forest friends!  Thank you to all the parents that were able to help out!

From the Office:

*Sunscreen

The sun rays are becoming more direct at this time of year! We LOVE the warmth but also want to ensure our children are safe from the UV rays. Would you please talk with your children at home and practice applying the sunscreen of your choice? If you’d like your child to reapply at school, we will teach children how to apply a fresh coating of sunscreen that you send with your child to keep them well protected from the UV rays. Thank you!

We spent some time writing letters to a first grader.  The first graders will come and visit Sassafras House next week and who better than these experts to teach the 1st graders all about 2nd grade?!

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 ...
