Dear Parents,

May is the month dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary. The students will be presenting their last Reader's Theater play, entitled, Our Lady of Guadalupe, in her honor. This will be on Friday, May 29 after Mass. There will be two performances, one right after the other.

The children have finished their math book.  I will be sending home a folder with examples of  your child's work and what you can review over the summer to maintain their skill level.

Our last theme of the year will be on Dinosaurs. This ties in nicely with the science standards for second grade, since it covers fossils, landforms, earthquakes, and volcanoes.

I am including some cute pictures from the past couple weeks.

                                             Our courageous lions caught in a trap!!

                        Second grade studied all about the ocean and its animals.

                                    Students attended the STEAM workshop after school.

Our "trip" to Brazil included a "walk" through the Amazon Rainforest.Later, each child was given a small drawing of a jaguar which they needed to measure the different body parts and multiply by 4.
The pictures in the background show the finished products. They are a mighty talented group!!

The children made replicas of the Montrance used for Adoration in preparation for their First Holy
Communion.  A picture of Jesus' face hides under the host.

                                                  Indoor recess can be lots of FUN

                        Stone Soup Opera with Second Grade narrating and acting out the parts.

The children did a beautiful job singing, and they practiced reading their parts with lots of expression.

Yes, the robin eggs hatched as the children had predicted from doing their research. They are enjoying on-going research and observation while keeping a journal.

Sincerely yours,
Mrs. Barth

Dear Parents,

Have you heard? Our classroom has a new pet! Not really, but little Robin Emily has decided to take up residence right outside our classroom window in an old, suet bird feeder. It has been amazing to watch the progress of nest building and just today we noticed mother Emily has two new eggs in her nest. Our class is keeping a journal of daily events.

The children loved their First Communion Day. It was special for everyone!

Thank you for taking the extra effort to send your child to school in their First Communion clothes this past Friday for Mass. The Mass was beautiful and the dancing afterwards was lots of fun!!  The children truly enjoyed showing you their dance steps!

The whole student body went to the park last week during their recess time. Our class cleaned one of the ball parks. This is a great way to learn about community service and town pride!

We are going to the new Adoration Chapel tomorrow for the first time. This will be a special time of prayer.

As always, I enjoy being your child's teacher!

Mrs. Barth
