Welcome to Mrs. Ryan’s second grade’s Class Notes! Welcome fall!
I hope your students did the weekend homework they were told to do. Their homework was to tell you that they are doing an awesome job in second grade! I am so pleased with their behavior and their work and so we are off to a wonderful start!
Important Notes:
Be sure your child gets a good night’s sleep each night and let’s not forget how important a healthy breakfast is in the morning before school! We will break for snack time each morning around 10:00 a.m. Remember to pack a snack and a refillable water bottle each day. Please initial your child’s planner each night.
LOOKING AHEAD:
•Back to School Night was this past Tuesday evening, September 17. Thank you to all who were able to stop in to second grade!
•Book Orders were due in no later than Friday, Sept. 20th.
Dear Lord,
We adore you and we know you love us too. We leave our school in your hands. Here we shall create and discover with your grace. Teach us how to love and respect. Bless our teachers, administrators, staff, and our classmates.
Amen
A Glimpse of the Week Ahead…
