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 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.
Thank you to Alan’s mom and dad who visited us this past week and shared their time and a fun book with us! We were also surprised with an activity that had us searching for worms! Thank you for that special treat Mr. and Mrs. Plummer!
Looking forward to the week ahead, I wish all moms and grandmas a very happy Mother’s Day!
God bless our week ahead!
