What’s New

in Grade Two?

May 6-10, 2013

 There are only 12 days left in 2^nd grade!  It’s hard to believe.  I need the kids to stay focused! 

If you have recently moved, please let Mrs. Dodson in the office know your new address so your child’s report card can be sent to you.

On Thursday our class will be visiting each of the 3^rd grade classes to find out what it will be like next year.  Can’t wait for Moving on Up Day!

Friday is Field Day!  Coach will have lot’s of great field events planned for classes to race against each other.  Details coming soon!
