May Monthly Memo
Can you believe we are entering the FINAL COUNTDOWN in 2nd grade? We can't! What a fabulous year full of fun and growth we have witnessed in C Complex. The past month we were able to finalize our PBL projects, visit the Kentucky Horse Park, and show amazing growth during MAP testing! During our final 19 days of school, we have many exciting activities planned for our students. We will be having a 12 Days of Fun Countdown to Summer! We will also be reading a Magic Treehouse book, High Tide in Hawaii, and learning all about Hawaii! Make sure to check Class Dojo regularly as we plan to post important dates and reminders there.

REMINDERS
MAP Testing:
Students completed spring MAP testing in April. Teachers will be sending home reports with updated scores soon!
Take-Home Folders:
Please check and empty folders each night!
Please make sure to send your child with a coat each day. Our recess is at 10:30 am and it is usually chilly outside, even in the spring. We want to be able to go outside as much as the weather allows! Thank you!
What We're Learning:
Each week, your child will bring home a paper that is called "What We're Learning." This paper is a resource for you to know what we are working on in reading and how you can help at home! This is not mandatory, but we do encourage you to look over the words with your child and have them read 15-20 minutes nightly.
Breakfast at School:
If your child needs to eat breakfast at school, please arrive by 7:30 a.m. Instruction begins at 7:45 a.m. and we want to make sure they have time to eat before our day begins!
Transportation Changes:
Any transportation changes must be in writing and turned into the front office. Ms. Mullins is in charge of transportation.
Stay In Touch!
