Last Day of School

Dear Families,

We had a terrific last day of school on Harmony and in our classroom. Traditionally, we celebrate with an team-wide American Idol (I hope you scrolled down to see some of our pictures from these performances) and a special Graduation Ceremony for our 2nd graders who are now moving on to WCS.

You child brought home a Reading Game for continued summer reading. The instructions and guidelines were included in the packet. The game is voluntary but I hope you get a chance to read together over the summer.

First grade mathematicians also brought home a math packet. This is also voluntary.

I hope you all have a safe and relaxing summer! I miss the kids already and look forward to seeing many of you again in August. Stay connected online!

Summer Technology Links

Dear Families,
I just emailed an attached document to you so you have access to our various digital links, passwords and usernames this summer.

Your child will also come home with a Reading Game for the summer. See the directions below (I will also send these directions along with the actual reading game):

This game is voluntary, but I hope you will help support your child in this literary endeavor over the summer.

Since summer is upon us, I had to change the rules of the game a little. When your child reaches the squares with the star in it, rather than telling the teacher, or librarian, in person, tell me on KidBlog in a new post, or in an email. I would like for mom or dad to sign off as well as there are prizes along the way. When the entire Reading Game has been completed, tell me on KidBlog, or in an email. In addition, have your parents sign it, and hand it in to me when school resumes again for a special surprise! I understand that it is trickier for our current 2^nd graders to stop by, so if you could help your child take a picture of the completed game board and upload it on KidBlog, or attach in an email, your child will still get the special surprise at the end.

To play the game, your child will follow the reading game path from start to end. Since the game board is laminated, it is a little easier to use stickers for each completed square rather than coloring them in.

Good Luck and Happy Reading!

Mrs. McCormack
