The Last Week is Here...
Dear Parents,
The year is almost at an end...but not yet, we still have some fun and exciting days to come.

Tuesday, May 29:  HOW TO BE “BOARD” DURING THE SUMMER!
Please have your child bring a favorite board game to share for the day.  (Please do not send electronic games.) Your child will have the opportunity to teach his/her game to several peers at some time during the day. The game must:

   1.   Be marked with identification.
   2.  Have ALL game pieces in a marked ziplock bag.
   3.  Be an appropriate game that encourages
        problem solving, good sportsmanship, and fun!

Wednesday, May 30th: WHINGDINGDILLY DAY!
Whingdingdilly Day will be a miscellaneous day that will include sharing:

   1.  Talents such as karate, magic tricks, dancing, etc.
   2.  Hobbies/Collections
   3.  Favorite Books
   4.  Projects, artwork, or written work
   5.  Hands-on-learning activities (puzzles, lego sets, etc.)
   6.  Recitation (recite poetry, riddles, etc.)
   7.  Photo Albums or souvenirs

Your child might be bringing home some items from his/her desk today to help lighten the load that will come home tomorrow. Backpacks might be a little heavier than usual.
Thursday, May 31st:  MATH GAMES & Mini Read-In DAY

Students will have the opportunity to review many of their favorite E.D.M. math games learned throughout the year...and more!

We will also have a mini read-in day today. Please bring 2 or 3 books and a beach towel. Please do not bring anything else since your child will be bringing home a lot of things at the end of the day.

Today is desk clean out day.  Please have your child bring a large bag to school.  This can be a shopping bag, however, if you have a cloth bag with handles we would recommend it to avoid rips and holes.

Friday, June 1st:  OLD TIMES/NEW TIMES/SAY FAREWELL
This is the last day of school.  Bring in your yearbook to sign autographs. Autograph sheets will be provided for students that do not have a yearbook.

                                   Sincerely,

                          The Second Grade Team
