I just want to take a moment to thank all our parents for a wonderful year! I cannot believe how fast it has flown by. This has been a GREAT group of students this year and I will truly miss them!
If your child is interested, we didn’t finish reading Runaway Ralph by Beverly Cleary. This would be a great summer read or read-to. There is also another book Ralph S. Mouse to complete the trilogy.
Have a great summer and READ, READ, READ!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Last Week Reminders:
**There is no Spotlight Program for this 9 weeks
**Bring bookbags all week, except Friday
**Show-and-tell is tomorrow in Mrs. Fowler’s class
**Please send in $2.00 for the pizza party (Maxwell/Stewart only)
**2nd graders will be doing the Mexican Hat Dance in the school-wide
Talent Show on the last day of school. We would like for kids to wear
jean shorts, tennis shoes, and a red, yellow, or green t-shirt. If you
have a Mexican sombrero hat, they can wear it.
**Last day of school is a half day—dismissal is at 11:50. Students may
leave after the talent show, but please sign them out with their teacher
and pick-up their report card.
We are changing the time for our end of year class parties on May 21 to 1:30 so that we can attend the volleyball game.
Monday, May 18 will be the last day I enter grades for this nine week grading period. I will probably only take two more grades for this nine weeks for both Science and Writing.
Please email me if you have any questions.

The constructed response will be to write about the life cycle of an animal which you have learned. This will be graded according to the informative writing rubric that the County uses. Students should have a topic sentence, detail sentences with transition words, and a sum it up sentence.
Please feel free to email me if you have any questions.

Monday we will review our science standards that we have covered this year. If you would like for your child to have additional review this weekend, you may logon to Brainpop Jr to watch several of the videos that go along with our standards: plants, animals, matter, forces, energy, weather, space and science skills.
