Spelling Concept: "Baking Cakes" and 4th Nine Weeks "In a Snap" Words (in binder)
***Spelling Test over "Baking Cakes" and 4th Nine Weeks "In a Snap" words on Friday, May 17.***
NEW "In a Snap" Words
Students received a new 4th Nine Weeks "In a Snap Word" list. Please practice these words nightly along with your child's weekly concept list. The "In a Snap" word list can be found inside your child's binder. Thanks!
300 High-Frequency Words
Your child received a list of words to study at home. Students need to be able to read these words quickly without having to use decoding strategies. Write the words your child continues to miss on index cards and practice these words daily. Thanks so much for partnering with us to inspire strong and independent readers!
Can't find the list that was sent home? No problem!

To celebrate the end of 2nd grade, we will be hosting a Kickball Tournament in the OCT field on Wednesday, May 22 at 9:00 am. We will first have every class take a group picture in front of our beloved tiger before making our way back to the field. After the tournament, students will play outside with friends on the playground before going inside for lunch. We hope you can make it to the first annual 2nd Grade Summer Kick-Off Kickball Tournament!
Pop Tabs for Ronald McDonald House
The Pirate CFO Future Exploration class is collecting pop tabs to help benefit the Ronald McDonald house in Fort Worth. The money that is collected at the recycling center from the tabs is an amount that is a huge benefit to the Ronald McDonald house! Did you know from just the "pop tabs" collected in our area, the Fort Worth Ronald McDonald house receives between $5000-$6000 to help support the needs at the house? The aluminum tabs do not have to be only from "pop" cans. They can come from any aluminum can! Thank you for helping our Future Exploration students in supporting our community members!
Thank you for your help & support!
