READING
We will be reviewing the stories from our final theme Talent Show. We will be working on writing activities to reflect over the things we liked about second grade.


MATH
In math we will be learning about multiplication this week.


Thank you to our room mom Mrs. Ermel. She did a fabulous job organizing our parties and making all our copies for the year. Thank you to Mrs. Meyer who helped Mrs. Ermel with the party planning. Thank you to Mrs. Maschio who helped with the computer lab and Math Fast facts. I appreciate all who sent in treats for the parties and those who helped organized the games.


Thank you to the PTO for the school picnic. The children had a wonderful time!


It’s hard to believe that we have completed this school year. The children have come so far since that first day of school in August. I am very pleased with the progress they have made. Thank you for all the support you have given them and me, which has helped make this such a positive experience for all.


I want the children to have a wonderful and restful summer. There are some activities that you can do over the summer to ensure a smooth transition for your child to third grade. Please take your child to the library for frequent visits. Encourage them to read to themselves, to you, and to one another. Continue to practice flashcards, working especially with addition
and subtraction facts, practice counting money and telling time. These activities, which do not take much time, but it will give your child a wonderful boost for those first days of school in third grade.


I have enjoyed teaching your children and watching them grow over the year. I will truly miss them as they move on to third grade. If you would like to write to me over the summer here is my address:
