Important Notes:
There is a Field Trip planned! The second grade will 
be seeing the musical performance of Don’t Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus by Author Mo Willems on Thursday, May 30th.
Tests: Please sign and return test slips when sent home. It is strongly encouraged that you review the tests. Test errors will always be reviewed with your child in school; in most cases, the children are able to make their corrections independently.
Homework: If your child has difficulty completing homework on any given night, please let me know with a quick note or email. This will help me focus my attention on particular concepts that need further review well before it is time for assessment. If homework cannot be completed on any given night due to other reasons, please let me know. Incomplete/missing homework is expected to be made up. Thank you!
The second graders are still looking for Mystery Readers! Won’t you please visit our classroom and read a book to us? We’d love to have you come and visit! Please consider and email me so we can arrange a day and time.
The spring concert will take place this Tuesday! Please be sure to refer to the note sent home from Mr. DeVries regarding important information for the evening!
School will be closed on Thursday, May 23 through Monday, May 27th due to a Professional Development Day and in recognition of Memorial Day. School resumes on Tuesday, May 28.
God bless our week ahead!
