Welcome to Mrs. Ryan’s second grade Class Notes!
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:
Friday Oct. 4: Dress Down Day-$5- Proceeds support cancer research
Monday Oct. 7: Picture Day!
Dear Lord,
As we begin a new week, a new month…keep my mind focused, my heart pure, and my spirit aligned with your word. Fill my lips with thanksgiving and praise of the great works you have done as we look forward to this new month of October.
Amen
