MARVELOUS MAY

Second grade kicked off the month of May with standardized testing the first week. The students worked so hard each morning showing what they have learned and we’re rewarded each afternoon with a sweet treat! For the morning tests, parents sent brain food, salty snacks and sweet treats for the kids each day. Thank you parents for your volunteering and making this hard week so special!

Testing week afternoons were spent playing outside and exploring the new creek made from recent heavy rains! We found crawfish, frogs, and many many worms!

The second week in May was the annual Lower School Tennis Tournament. Coach Rusty works with the tennis students all year teaching them the rules of the game and how to play tennis with proper form. The student adore Coach Rusty and look forward to this time every year. Thank you Coach Rusty for pouring into the students each week and teaching them to love tennis!

The third week in May our class got to visit the Roman Carnival at the middle school. Students participated in many fun events like archery, hair braiding, face painting, and a three legged race! We are proud of the middle schoolers and their efforts to put on such a fun event.

The last week in May, and our last week together as a class was spent experimenting with solar ovens we designed and created. The students learned about solar and heat energy. We cooked s’mores on the sidewalk and enjoyed them when they were roasted.

Finally, the class was together one last time before summer break at our end of year water party. Fun was had by all. This class has grown socially, emotionally, and academically into a group of students I am proud to say are ready for the third grade! Teaching them was a blessing and an honor. I am eager to see each of them soar into their futures. Third grade: HERE THEY COME!
