Week of June 1st

Welcome Parents!
We can't believe it's June already! We hope that everyone had a wonderful Memorial Day weekend! We have finished our last Reading unit and will be taking our unit test all week. In Math, we are continuing to work on learning how to tell time. In Social Studies, we are working on how to be a good friend. In English, we are learning about sentences and sentence structure. We will not have a Spelling test this week because of the test, but we will have reporters. The entire school has mass on Friday at 9:15 to celebrate the 8th grade; their graduation will be later that day at 6pm.

Week of May 24

Welcome Parents!

Thank you for all the hard work you and your child put into the Career Reports! It was wonderful to see the students present. We had a wonderful field trip to the fire station on Friday. Thanks to all the parents who helped, especially Paula Dionne and Nina Mueller for being great room moms! We have another fun Friday to look forward to this week! Activity Day is Friday! We hope to see some of you there! Students will wear their P.E. uniforms. They may wear ball caps or visors but not sunglasses. Please be sure to put sunscreen on your child BEFORE school. Please bring in a dollar for the cake walk and canned goods. There is a contest amongst the activity day teams to see who can bring in the most canned goods! We will not be having Reporters this week and our Spelling test will be on Thursday. The following Monday, May 31st, there is no school for Memorial Day!

This week we are studying r-controlled vowels and the -tion sound as well as the comprehension strategy, making good judgments. In Math, we have moved on from money and are now learning how to tell time on an analog clock. In English we will be working on grammar. In Social Studies, we will be learning about what it means to be a kind friend.

Welcome Parents!
We have an exciting week in 2nd grade! There is a parent meeting in the parish hall on Tuesday at 7pm. The students will be presenting their career reports that they have been working so hard on. You are welcome to join us on your child's day to present. All boards are due on Monday, May 17th. Please see schedule below for your child's presentation day.

2nd grade will also be visiting the Emerson Fire Station on Friday, May 21st. We will be learning about people at work in our community. We will provide lunch for the class at the park. We will leave school at about 9:30 and return at 12. Permissions slips will go home on Monday and must be returned on Wednesday. No child will be permitted to go on the field trip without a permission slip. We will take our Spelling test on Thursday this week and there will not be Reporters this week.


This week we are working on the long vowels at the ends of syllables and the consonants ch /k/ and sch /sk/ sounds. We are continuing to work with money in Math. Our People at Work unit in Social Studies will conclude this week with our Career presentations and field trip to the fire station.
