October 1 - Pictures from Sept.

Here are some pictures from September. The kids were decorating the paper to cover the Support Our Soldiers boxes for the North Entrance hallway.

I have also included our V.I.P. ( Very Important PUPIL) Each student will get to have their pictures, etc. on the V.I.P. bulletin board for a week or more. Parents will get a letter prior to the week your child will be V.I.P. It gives ideas of what your child might want to bring.

Something else we do in second grade which is fun is to have a student who is V.I.S.A. (Very Important Student Assistant). This child gets to do little extra things to help me and/or other students. Everyone will have turns all year long. It goes with the weekly chores such as line leader, messenger, pass papers, etc. The kids enjoy this job!

Mr. Bell came to our room again today to show the kids the next step in their writing. He is proving to the kids that writing is easy, and they CAN do it! They are very receptive to his ideas. I'm sure we'll invite him in again!

Liturgies have been especially nice this year! Today Mr. Bell was song leader as well as playing the organ at Communion time. For the closing song, he and Ms. Betzold both played. Wow! I don't believe I' ve ever heard our organ and piano playing at the same time. It was awesome!! What is even more awesome, is that some of the kids were talking today and said they "love going to Church!" I think it's such an uplifting yet calming place to be, and when we are all a school community there at once it's even more of a blessing!

Have a good evening. REMEMBER PICTURE DAY TOMORROW!
