Happy Summer!

Thank you for a wonderful year of second grade fun. It was sad to see the journey end because this was a really great group of students. I hope you all have a safe and happy summer! Please remember to practice your second grade skills and continue to email me with any questions. I sent home some great ideas with your children on the last day of school with fun activities to share with the whole family. Don't forget to read, Read, READ and visit your local library. Have fun with the websites I've shared and come back to see me next year!
Love Mrs. McConahey

March

The school year is almost over and we have a very busy couple of next weeks coming up.

Mark your calendars...
Next week report cards go home on Wednesday, March 16th.
It is also an Early Release day without any after school.

No school for students on Thursday or Friday, March 17th and 18th.

I will be on maternity leave starting April 11th. I have a great sub lined up and she will take over for the rest of the school year. Please don't hesitate to email me with any questions or concerns you may have patriciamcconahey@yahoo.com

The week of April 11th is also the week that second grade will be taking the Stanford 10 standardized tests. Please make sure that your child comes to school and is on time and well rested every day that week.

Happy March!

January

We have been working on learning about and practicing the character trait of Caring this month. Students have been learning that caring is thinking with your heart and treating people the way they should be treated. All month long, we focused on showing our classmates that we care. The student chosen as our "Star Character of the Month" was Jasmine. Congratulations, Jasmine!
In past months, we have focused on the character traits of Respect and Responsibility. Our student of the month for Respect was Dantae and our student of the month for Responsibility was Lexxye. These students enjoyed a special character lunch.

We have also been working on earning ACT tickets.
Caught in the ACT means Patriots Are respectful, Caring, and Take responsibility. Look for these green tickets to come home with your child. They are a big deal!
