Mrs. McKermitt's Second Grade/Room 31

Welcome to Room 31!  Second grade is such an exciting grade to teach.  The chidren are anxious to make their First Holy Communion and they are becoming much more independent.  I look forward to a new year with new friends and can't wait to get back into a classroom routine.

End of Second Grade Poem 


The year is coming to an end, I can’t believe it’s true.

Before you know it, you’ll be moving onto somewhere new.


It seems like only yesterday you entered 2nd grade.

Think of all the fun we’ve had, and all the progress you’ve made.


We’ve studied things like phonics, math, reading, and writing.

We also learned to do our best and to solve disagreements without fighting.


We played at recess on the swings, the monkey bars, or slide.

We hoped we wouldn’t misbehave and have to sit out on the side.


We’ve grown as learners, and as friends, but now it’s time to go.

Before you leave, there’s something important I’d like for you to know.


You came in and touched my heart in a very special way.

Although you move on, I hope you know that in my heart you’ll stay!

From Mrs. Petrash:

 

Dear First Communicant Families,

I just wanted to give you an update on the First Communion pictures. There isn't one. I have reached out to the photographer and have not yet heard back. Hopefully this week, we will be receiving printed proofs of the pictures for you to order from and an online code. Once we receive the proofs, we will send them home right away. Once you see the pictures, you should be able to order online.

Easter blessings,

Mary Petrash

*Tomorrow/Thursday - iReady Reading Diagnostic - get a good night’s sleep and eat a hearty breakfast.

 

*Enjoy your day!
