Dear Families,
Thank you for such a wonderful celebration on my birthday. You and your children blessed me so richly with your generosity and I am grateful. I will so enjoy using all my gift cards. The special book the children made will always be a TREASURE.
LANGUAGE ARTS – In READING, the children are enjoying the books from our Leveled Readers! We continue to talk about the main idea, setting, characters and the problem and resolution.. We continue to work on our phonic skills as well, applying them in new text. WRITING – In journal writing we are reading back what we have written and checking to see if we have the appropriate punctuation mark.
MATH – We will take Chapter 12 test on double digits, Tuesday, April 21st. The review for that chapter came home last Monday. It is due on the day of the test. The chapter contract will come home in the work envelope on Monday. Some have not finished, however, I am not requiring that they complete and return. It would be great to save it and finish up and review during the hot days of summer. Second grade math moves into double digit very quickly. Our last two chapters will be Geometry and Fractions and Measurement.We will have a chapter test on our Geometry and Fraction chapter, but not our Measurement chapter.
SCIENCE – We continue with our unit on the Rainforest. The children are so enjoying this unit of study.
SOCIAL SCIENCE– We are on the Marketplace which will take us through the end of the year. We will be learning what makes a good steward of what God gives us.
BIBLE – We will be studying Philip.
FIELD TRIP -Our annual trip to Hanford on the train will be on May 13th. We will leave at 9:15 AM and return by 1:00 PM. We will need drivers to take us to the train station and back from Hanford. Please check the sign up sheet outside o
ur classroom door if you can help with transportation. – HELP!!!! As of now we only have transportation for 18 children. Please check your calendars and see if there is anyway you could help us with transportation. Many Thanks!
END OF YEAR CONVOCATION– As the year draws to a close we would like to gather as a family to celebrate all that God has done for us on Thursday, May 7th. All of you (parents, grandparents, family, and friends) are invited to join the teachers, students, administration, and staff as we gather together for this ending convocation held in the Peoples’ Church sanctuary. It is a time of celebration, worship, and prayer as we end our year with thanksgiving and praise.The service begins at 8:00 am and will end by 8:30. All students K-12 are to report directly to the sanctuary by 7:55 AM. Every class will be designated with a sign and balloons, making it easy to locate your child’s class.It is exactly the same as our opening convocation seating arrangement. You are welcome to sit with your student in their designated area or if you have more than one student attending Fresno Christian, choose where you would like to sit. I look forward to seeing all of you at this closing event as we end our year acknowledging God’s hand upon us through prayer, worship, and heartfelt celebration.
OPEN HOUSE – The Fine Arts Festival is coming up on May 5th. The children are doing a Diorama which will be due on the morning of May 5th. Please do not send it sooner, as there is no place to store them as we share space with the church. This is a very fun project. Be creative and have fun!!! A handout came home last week explaining this assignment which will be on a book or movie that the children have experienced. You can also google the word “diorama” and come up with lots of ideas.
SHOW AND TELL – This week will be Team A.
LIBRARY INFO – Parents please note: As we come to the end of our school year would you please encourage your students to return all items checked out from the Library. The final due date for all items checked out is Friday, May 1st. Reminders of items checked out will be sent to the students beginning the week of May 4th. There is a fine of $25.00 for each item that is not returned. Many wonderful titles are lost each year because they are not returned. We greatly appreciate your assistance in getting books back in and onto the shelves so the collection is ready to go again in August. Please contact me if you have any questions.
