No Spelling Test
No Memory

Jackson Pollock Day

This fun Art afternoon is scheduled for Wednesday, May 21st.  Your child will need to bring old clothes and shoes for our messy crazy painting afternoon.  I will give the students time before or right after lunch to change clothes.  Be prepared for your child to be messy at pick-up this day.  Maybe bring an old towel or plastic trash bag for your child to sit on.  Remember.....Send old clothes and shoes (flip flops are fine) this day.  Your child will be covered in paint.  A big thanks to our 2nd grade volunteers Mr. Walker, Mrs. Kvet, Ms. Nations, and Mrs. Collins.  

School Library End of Year
All books must be turned in so librarians can complete inventory before the year’s end.   Also, please return any of Mrs. Smith class library books if you have any at home.  

Last Day
Don't bring backpacks Friday, May 23rd.  All papers and supplies will be sent home before Friday. 

No Fun Fair This Year
Due to construction and timing issues with some volunteers, the Fun Fair will not be held this year.  Feel free to make other plans with friends and classmates to celebrate the close of another great year of school.

Reflecting on our week: This week we sent the first graders a message from second grade. We wrote down 10 things they should know about second grade. We also got a chance to hear from third grade. They sent us a message telling us 10 things to know about third grade. 
The students have grown so much this year! They are excited and ready to see all that God has in store for them in third grade!
