Update February 4th

Hello Wonderful Families,
I am ecstatic to announce that our class has won the trophy for earning the most AR points for all of 2nd grade for the THIRD month in row!!!  I am beyond proud of these kiddos. I encourage them the best that I can, but they are the ones doing the work, spending hours a week reading and passing their AR quizzes.  We were rewarded with some extra recess today!
February Poems will be going home on Monday.  Students will need to be ready to recite their poems the week of February 25th.

Valentine's day is coming up. Bringing in Valentine's is not required, but if your student decides that they want to bring in Valentine's cards, please make sure to include one for each student. We have 24 students in our class. If you want to personalize them, our class names are as follows: Ethan, Ames, Reagan, Jack F., Addison, Brianna, London, Callen, Hailey, Dixie, Joelle, Jet, Jack O., Caleb, Trevor, Liam, Pedro, Ashlyn, Allie, Saylah, Zachary, Wyatt, Andrew, Morgan.
The last day to take AR quizzes for this trimester will be February 28th. Remember you can always check in on your child’s AR progress by clicking on the Renaissance link on the left side of this page.
