Happy Mother's Day to ALL of our sweet, Great-Hearted Moms! Do you want to know HOW you are virtuous? See our special video message for all of you! We love you!
As our year comes to a close, we've been talking about all we have learned this year and how we should finish our year together. It's really easy to START something but it's even harder to FINISH it. Let's finish STRONG! As we've been having classroom conversations, your children share so many thought-provoking things! I wish I had time to write them all down. Here are a few snippets from the sweet minds of these THREE 2nd graders...
"If you respect someone else, they'll give respect to you." ~Thomas
"It costs nothing to be kind." ~Julian
"If someone is mean to you, you shouldn't be mean back to them." ~Lilah
I've seen so many loving, forgiving, virtuous hearts in our classroom! I hope I can continue to see these the last two weeks of school.

Math: Next we will work hard and play hard in math! We will take our end of year assessments, both on the computer and on paper. Students will have 2 minutes to do as many addition problems as they can, then two minutes to do as many subtraction problems, and finally, 2 minutes to do as many multiplication problems as they can! We will spend time playing review games and working hard!
History: We will continue with our unit on Immigration and Citizenship next week. Where are your ancestors from? Please talk to your children about how America became a "melting pot"!
Science: We were SO busy preparing our Mother's Day projects that we ran out of time for our COOKIE CELLS! We will do those next week!
Love,
Mrs. Dombrowski
