Second Grade Scene

VISIT FROM IRELAND

This week the second graders have enjoyed learning about Ireland. On Tuesday we had Mrs. Connor come and speak to us on life in Ireland, she showed us home movies and she had lots of pictures for us to pass around. On Wednesday the Irish Dancers from school came to visit us. All of the students were amazed at how well these young children could dance. Thursday was especially fun, the class got to go into the cafeteria and make their own lunches, Irish stew. We also enjoyed cookies and candies from Ireland. The week came to an end with a field trip to the Gene Leahy Mall where we were able to watch the Saint Patrick's day parade. It was a very informative and fun week. Don't be to surprised if your children ask to go to Ireland on your next vacation.

Our class along with Mrs. Baumert's class has been preparing our annual play. It will be held on April 2, 2000 at 7p.m in the social hall. A list of costumes will be coming home in the next week. I really hope that you will be able to join us. The students have been working very hard on this play.

JUST A REMINDER…

• Please send a stamped envelope to school with your child on Monday. Also, please send an address of someone he or she would like to write to. We will be reading Flat Stanley and we will then send letters and see how far Flat Stanley can get.

• Parent/Teacher Conference confirmation sheets are attached to the newsletter today, if you have a child also in grades 6-8 they will be on a first come first serve basis.

A SPECIAL THANK YOU TO:

• Mrs. Lebeda for providing cookie's for our class.
• Mr. Smith for donating colored paper for art project's
• Mrs. Connor for speaking to our class and the Irish dancers for dancing for us.
