He is Risen!
He is Risen indeed!
Alleluia!
Happy Easter! I hope you all had a chance to celebrate the Resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ! As your second graders learned... it's not about the bunny, it's about how Jesus died for our sins so that we can be saved. We are so blessed.
Here's a picture of Mrs. Leet reading after our Good Friday service. What an excellent story... The Three Trees. Ask your second grader about the meaning behind this book!
Market Day was a HUGE success!
The students really enjoyed being producers and consumers during this project. They truly put all of their economic skills to use and learned a lot about business.
Here's a look back...

Although this week is short, we are "back to normal." Here we go!
RELIGION
This week we will discuss the fact that sometimes good news is hard to believe. The women coming to the tomb on Easter morning received a message that was hard to believe, and Thomas (one of Jesus disciples) could not believe that Jesus had actually risen from the dead. Christ's resurrection confirmed His work of salvation. Through it we learn many TRUTHS. We learn that Jesus is the Son of God, that God keeps His promises, and that we too will rise and live eternally someday. Never doubt God's truth!
MEMORY WORK
Students will be saying the verse this week. There will be no written option.
Jesus said, "Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed." John 20:29
SPELLING and GRAMMAR
Our spelling words this week have the "schwa" spelling patterns. Schwa is the most common vowel sound in the English language, but it is also the cause of more spelling mistakes than any other sound. Schwa is an unaccented vowel sound. Vowels saying schwa are "lazy vowels" and can often sound like their is no vowel there at all.

BONUS - biomes
In grammar we will continue to work on pronouns, focusing on possessive pronouns and plural possessive pronouns.
WRITING
This week we are kicking off a new writing genre - Poetry! We will discuss what poetry is, and practice writing our own descriptive poems. Your second graders are going to be such great poets!
SCIENCE
What are biomes? Biomes are ecosystems where plants, animals, and people live together in a certain climate. This week your children will be researching various biomes and making discoveries about where each biome is located, what each biome looks like, the various climates they have, what animals live in each biome, and what's important about each biome. In the final stages of this project, students will be creating "box biomes." We will be in need of boxes (ex-large shoebox sized) for this project. If anyone has boxes that they can donate please shoot me an e-mail! Thanks!
