Last Day of Second Grade!

Today was the last day of school.

First, we took care of some "must do" items.  We passed out report cards, work samples and fun summer work.

We read our Class Timeline books right away this  morning.  These books are full of all the fun things we did month by month along with special pictures.  We had a chance to read them and have our friends sign them.

Next, we had a snack while we finished the movie Ramona and Beezus.  It was such a good movie and there were similarities to the book we listened to last week.

Last, we read three books that sum up our year and how we are feeling about each other and our memories.  It was hard to say goodbye at the very end.  We had a chance to hug and give compliments as we left.

Thank you for an amazing year!  It was filled with many joy filled moments for all of us.

Happy Reading and Happy Summer!

Here are some details for this year:
     Starting June 10 children can pick up a Bookawocky recording form.

Portfolio Party!

This afternoon was an awesome to celebrate all that these 2nd graders have learned this year!

Thank you for coming to hear about and look at our writing portfolios.  It was so much fun to see all the families intentionally looking through the projects and having conversations about them.  I loved seeing the families spending time together!  Thank you for making time to be with us!
