Dear Second Grade Families,
We started celebrating Dr. Seuss’ birthday on March 2nd with a hot cocoa mix sent home to enjoy with a good book. Last week, the students brought their special books from home. This week we will bring a small towel to use for our reading time in class along with a book from home. The students are enjoying their free choice reading everyday from 2:30-2:45. Next week, I encourage the students to bring their flashlights from home to read in the classroom.
Congratulations to our Palmisano finalists Payton, Sabrina, Greta, Sophia B., and Abby! Our K-2 finalists will be recognized at a special assembly on March 19th. Please look on our school website for times. We wish our Kinder, First, and Second graders lots of luck!
