Week 39 - Our Final Week Together

What a wonderful year we had in second grade!  I would like to thank you for all your support and encouragement throughout the year.  You are your child's biggest cheerleader - thank you for encouraging him/her!  I pray you have a wonderful and restful summer!  Blessings to you!  

On Monday we had fun writing stories about our favorite second grade activity.  These came home this week - be sure to take a look at your child's!  We also spent time graphing items found in nature.  Then we spent an extended time at the beach pond - eating lunch, playing, and reading while hammocking!  Your child knows how to use his/her hammock, I would encourage all second graders to keep using these this summer while enjoying some fun reading!  


















On Tuesday we shared our favorite memory stories, practiced our addition and subtraction, and had a fun celebration including water balloons, games, and ice cream sundaes.  Thanks so much for donating all the supplies for our yummy treat!  























On Wednesday we had a beautiful send-off chapel.  These kiddos are ready for Pine Ridge - what a blessing they have been to our K-2 Forest School program - they've been strong leaders this year!  








I pray you have a wonderful summer - resting, relaxing, having fun adventures, making memories, snuggling, and reading some good books!

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 ...
