Updates

Here a few updates and reminders:

*Tomorrow, Tuesday, May 14th, is a "Friday schedule." For our class, this means we will not have gym. Instead, we will have art. 

*Tomorrow we will also welcome a guest speaker for Guidance. Please see the note from Mrs. Foley regarding this guest speaker that was sent home last week.

*This Friday, May 17th, is an early release. Students will be released at 1:25.

*Our last Scholastic order was due this Wednesday, May 15th. Due to the request of a family, I am extending the due date to Friday, May 17th. This is a great time to get books ready for summer! After teaching 1-3rd grade for almost 10 years and being a mom myself, I truly believe Scholastic online book orders are the most budget-friendly option. :) Our code for ordering is: HPHV

*I have officially begun doing running records with the 2nd graders! It is so exciting to see all of the growth! Please remember to continue to read with your child each night.

*Field Day is scheduled for Friday, May 31st. More information about this will be coming home before the date. :)  

*SUMMER BIRTHDAYS: If your child has a "summer birthday" and did NOT choose to celebrate his or her "half birthday," please let me know. I will work with you to choose a day in May or June to celebrate your child with our class. In the past, I dedicated a week or two the "summer birthday" kiddos. Each child will get his or her own special day. Your child will get to be the line-leader, wear a special birthday crown, get a pencil from me and have a birthday seat cover. If you would like, you can also choose to send your child to school with a birthday treat. We will sing to your child to help celebrate. :) 

*Don't forget to also check our Twitter and SeeSaw sites nightly! :)
