Mrs. Klug's Super Second Graders: Week of May 15th

My heart is overflowing from all the love I received last week.
You are all amazing and really made me feel appreciated!
Thank you so very much for all the gifts, goodies, cards and gift cards!

What a blessing this bunch has been!!

Also, my heart melted on Wednesday when your children boldly shared the Gospel at chapel. They did an amazing job!

#ilovelutheranschools

Only two weeks of school left! This week is going to whiz by with a Monday field trip and "Field Day" on Friday! Here's what's happening during this fun-filled week...

CHRISTIAN CHARACTER FORMATION PROJECT

The early believers sacrificially shared their time, efforts, attention, and possessions, placing others’ needs above their own. We can and must do the same as we follow Jesus. We can share everything we have and who we are with those around us because everything we have is from God and ultimately belongs to Him. This week we will revisit SELF-SACRIFICE in Acts 2:42-47 and 4:32-37. We remember self-sacrifice as God’s power for you to give something up to help others. As you mull over self-sacrifice, think about how sharing your life can change your life.

WRITING

The author celebration was a HUGE success! Thanks for taking time out of your busy schedules to come and rejoice in your child's writing accomplishments! I'm so extremely proud of all of their hard work! Be sure to scroll to the bottom of this post for pictures!

NO SPELLING this week!! Spelling is over for the year!! However, PLEASE keep your children writing over the summer and keep them accountable for using the spelling patterns we've learned AND make them responsible for spelling sight words correctly. Whether it's writing a grocery list, creating a story, or responding to a book, keep those kids writing!!! They are great writers! Please shoot me an e-mail if you'd like a list of the second grade sight words.

READING SKILLS and STRATEGIES

Freckle Juice? Ever tried it? I'm really excited to finish up the year with a class book club based on the book Freckle Juice by Judy Blume. We will be reading and responding to the book this week and next, between all of our other fun activities. My hope is that this will inspire them to try written responses to reading over the summer.
