Another great week.  Lots of assessments this week!  Here is a note from our music teacher, Ms. Martin!

Talent Day! Students will perform during music next week. Each second grade class is full of talented individuals and this is a fun end-of-the-year activity for them to showcase those talents!
A few guidelines are:
Talent must be:
~less than 5 minutes
~groups of 2-3 or one person; one person can do a solo and be in a group
~can include: singing, dancing, playing piano or another instrument that you bring, lip syncing, short skit (readers theater), cheerleading, how-to presentation  hula-hooping, jump rope, spinning a basketball, juggling etc.
~no large props or costumes-keep it simple and fun!
Please email Miss Martin jmartin@cpsk12.org if you have any questions!

May 3rd

April showers bring May flowers. What do May flowers bring?
Pilgrims! (This seems to be the joke of the week in our class! Haha)

This week we have been working on two of our reading assessments for the end of the year. I am so proud of these kiddos and how much progress they have made. I actually teared up on one assessment today! Ha!
In writing we started a new unit: poetry! We are having fun with alliteration, repetition, rhymes, metaphors, and similes.
In reading we are learning about point of view. This has been so much fun!
In math we tested on measurement, and we will begin our next unit: telling time/data collection next week. We have a busy month ahead of us with all of our assessments and  fun end of the year activities, but we also still have some great learning to do!
Today we celebrated Ms Weber's last day. Thank you to everyone who sent in books and money to help out. She absolutely loved all of her books and was very excited. The class also made her a book and a painting with fingerprints (every year she adds on to the painting with her class) which she really enjoyed.
Don't forget that Friday is our field trip to the Runge and Central Dairy. Please remember we are loading buses at 8:30 so please get to school on time :) Also please  have your child wear his/her tie dye shirt.

Also, thanks to everyone who brought in glue sticks!!! I really appreciate it!

**in case you are wondering about when your check will go through for our Service Learning, PTA is collecting them tomorrow and writing our check to Little Footprints, Big Steps.
