Graduation

Our second grade graduation ceremony will be held on Wednesday, June 7, 2017. The ceremony will begin at 10:00 am. We are very excited about celebrating the progress made by all this school year. I have enjoyed working with my students and although I know that I will miss each one, I am so very proud of them! Parents, thank you for your support throughout the year!

Field Day was fun (and hot)!

Ruth Patrick Science Center

We had a wonderful trip to the Ruth Patrick Science Center at USC/Aiken. The staff was wonderful and the sessions were so informative! Our class participated in three sessions; animals, matter and magnets. After a class poll, it was decided that students enjoyed the animals best. Thank you to Mrs. Arrowood, Mrs. Kittrell, Mrs. Johnson and Ms. Bovian for volunteering to chaperone. Your help was greatly appreciated!

Celebrations!

We had a lot to celebrate last week! We celebrated the completion of our opinion writing unit, some our students attended the AR celebration and we also celebrated our March birthdays. As I heard one of the students say, "It was the best day ever!"

We are looking forward to creating more wonderful memories when we go on our field trip this Thursday. We hope to leave campus at 8:15 am.

Field Trip

Parents, on April 6, 2017, our class will be going on a field trip to the Ruth Patrick Education Center in Aiken, SC. The cost of the trip is $12. Permission slips were sent home on last week. I am asking that you sign and return them by March 29, 2017. We are all very excited and looking forward to this event where our children will enjoy several hands-on STEM activities. On April 6th, reports cards for the 3rd quarter will be sent home. Please be on the look out for them. If there are any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me. Thank you for supporting your child!

Here are our children participating in a book club meeting. They work hard to read and comprehend their books in order to discuss them with a partner. The best part is that the book club meetings are student led.

Valentine's Day Exchange

Thank you parents for being so generous with the treats sent in for our Valentine's Day exchange. The children really enjoyed themselves!

Wow, How Time Flies!

It is amazing to realize that we are now in the third quarter! I can't begin to tell you how proud of our children I am. They are becoming wonderful readers and writers. We are beginning to form book clubs and the members are reminding me when it is time for a new book. Parents, this is all due to the support you give to your kids. Thank you so much!
