Second Grade Community Service Project:
The Walk for Juvenile Diabetes Research
April 28th - Sloan Park, Mesa
Team Name: Eliana's Eradicators
As many of you know, earlier this year our classmate, Eliana Lee was unexpectedly diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes. She and her family have been working hard to help her adjust to this diagnosis and remain the smart, kind and funny girl she is. In honor of her, and all kids who have diabetes, the second grade teachers have decided that our grade level community service project will be to participate in the "Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation One Walk". This is a 5K walk through Sloan park in Mesa on Saturday, April 28 to raise money for research to eliminate Type 1 diabetes. I plan on being there as part of Eliana's Eradicators and hope you can join me and the Lee family for a fun walk for a great cause. The link to register is above. Hope to see you!
Almost a Third Grader (wow!)
Can you believe it is almost the end of second grade? We still have lots to learn and practice over the next few weeks, so please continue to support your child and encourage him or her to do their best. Our learning continues right up until the last day of school and our expectations are as high on that day as they are on the first day. With this in mind, please know that we are working hard to be ready for third grade, both academically and behaviorally. Academically we will be working especially closely on our writing and grammar conventions, as well as reviewing second grade math skills. Please continue to support reading and fluency sweeps at home to continue reading growth. We will also be writing more and more in cursive, including taking spelling tests entirely in cursive by the end of the year. Please do help your child practice their words in cursive in anticipation of this end of the year goal. Right now we're doing a blend of cursive and print on homework, but that will slowly switch to all cursive too. Third grade will be almost entirely in cursive, so we want the students to be prepared for that transition.

Volunteer!
We are seeking parent support for our library time: Mondays from 12:20-12:45
Here is an opportunity to help our class without a huge time commitment! We need a parent volunteer to aid during our library time which is from 12:20- 12:25 on Mondays. You can help any capacity that you feel comfortable with...
* Read a book to the class
* Assist scholars looking for books
* Check books in and out of the computer system
You do need to be fingerprinted to assist in this capacity. It's not required, but if you would like a quick training on the layout of the library, how to search for books or how to check books in and out of the computer you can contact Shannon Lee at library@archwaylincoln.org.
