April is Almost Over!

Greetings 2B Families!

April is almost over! Thank you for yet ANOTHER super week in 2B! We celebrated Miss Smith this week. She graduated from GCU with her Bachelors in Educational Studies! Thanks for making her feel special. The ENTIRE 2nd grade made a huge tunnel of love for her, too!

Volunteer Appreciation:

Thank you to all of our AMAZING parent volunteers! We love and appreciate you SO much! Thank you to these two sweet Room Moms for ALL they have done to make this year extra special.

Thank you also to our awesome Friday Folder helpers, Reading Group volunteers, and Math Center helpers! We love you!

History: We are continuing on with our Immigration and Citizenship unit next week. We will learn about the trials immigrants faced in the 1800's, as well the rights and responsibilities American Citizens have. We will also study three prominent immigrants: Andrew Carnegie, Dr. Albert Sabin, and Irving Berlin. You can ask your child about the Statue of Liberty, and Ellis Island or listen to some Irving Berlin music next week!

Love,

Mrs. Dombrowski
