Second Grade: Day 175

Today is Thursday. There is 1 day left of school and 2 fun days next week!

Monday is a field day with games on the playground field and Tuesday is a special awards chapel with an early dismissal.

There was no P.E. today.

Today was the last day of piano until summer lessons start in July. Isabel says she’s looking forward to a break but she’ll still be having daily practices at home.

She didn’t have a whole lot to say about her day, she’s excited about tomorrow’s read-in and summer birthday celebrations that they are doing for those with birthdays in summer.

She got her Northwest Trek Mammal animal report back today. Today she had to read it aloud to the class and tomorrow she’ll get to hear the remaining students read their reports.

The remaining pictures had to be drawn by Isabel.

She also brought home this booklet (see below).

My second grade year was written at the end or beginning of a new month. The class was given several options written on the white board. The kids could pick 3 of the options from the list given.
