I can't believe this is my last update of the year, such a bitter-sweet day! I'm not sure where May and June went, but we sure did have fun! We ended the year on Wednesday with a great all-school slide show showcasing memories from this past school year. We also had fun cleaning and organizing our classroom for the summer break. I hope the children enjoyed their time in second grade. I sure had fun teaching and growing with them all!!
We have been busy over the last two weeks finishing up the school year. The children did a great job on their country presentations! It was fun to learn more about each country and to see the creative ideas that the children came up with in terms of presenting the information to their peers.
Thank you to all parents who were able to attend the Second Grade Super Star Celebration! The children were very excited to show off all their hard work! It's always amazing to look back at their writing from the beginning of the year to see how much they have grown.
We also finished up our Earth's Surfaces Science unit. The focus of the unit was on how wind and water changed the surface of the land. We wrapped up the unit by having the children act as engineers and create levees to help stop the effects of a landslide. The children loved it and were very successful!
We've also had lots of fun end of the year activities. We attended the Crisafulli Orchestra and found out about the strings program at Crisafulli that the children can participate in next year. The second graders also showed off their talents at our Talent Show. Nice job second graders! Finally, we had Move-Up Day! The children got a tour of Crisafulli, met their Third Grade teachers and found out who would be in their class next year, and got to have lunch and recess at their new school. The excitement level was high and I know they are all very excited about next year!
Thank you all for a WONDERFUL school year! I truly enjoyed getting to know each and every one of the students and watching them grow throughout the year. I wish you all a relaxing and safe summer and good luck to the children in third grade. Please come back to visit me!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Longo
