Read to Succeed due One Week from Today!!

Read to Succeed, the 6 hour reading program for a ticket to Six Flags is due one week from today, on February 25th. I will start taking these forms whenever they are complete.

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

With the completion of our Valentine's party, our party season is officially over. I can't thank the parents enough (all of you!) for sending in supplies, and for coming to help with the parties. The children have so much fun at these parties, and they would not be possible without the help of parents. We have a few things coming up, so be on the lookout for other ways to come in, help, and be involved in your child's 2nd grade year!

Progress reports

Progress reports will go home tomorrow. Please look for these in the gold folder.

Keyboarding program

We have begun learning how to keyboard! This is a program that we will spend time on in our computer lab every other week. I am including the link because you can have your child practice from home too!
