NEWS
**NEWS FOR MRS. PETRELLA'S MATH GROUP**
Mrs. Petrella's Math Class will have a Chapter 9 Math test on Thursday, April 25, 2019 after our Easter Break. This is the most important Second Grade Math test of the year. It will include a lot of regrouping in both Addition and Subtraction so students should be a master of regrouping twice if necessary!!!
2nd GRADE FIELD TRIP NEWS
Please save the date for our field trip. It is planned as of now for Monday, June 3, 2019. We have scheduled admission with a classroom activity at the Adventure Aquarium in Camden, New Jersey. Permission Slips with more information went home before Easter break (some students forgot them in their mailboxes). Mrs. Petrella will be taking 7 chaperones since she has more students in her class and I will be taking 6 chaperones. Chaperones will be picked randomly if I get more than 6 to sign up. In order to be a chaperone, clearances will be checked and you MUST have ALL the necessary clearances or I cannot choose you. Chaperones will pay the same price as students. Price is $26 for admission, classroom activity, and bus ride. This will be deducted from FACTS. If you are interested in being a chaperone, please email me or use the Remind app to text me. Thanks so much!!!
FINAL HOME PROJECT – ANIMAL RESEARCH PAPER
Information on the last at home project of second grade was sent home on Friday, April 12, 2019. Notice that it is due on Monday, May 13, 2019. This is the day following Mother's Day. Please plan accordingly so you are not spending Mother's Day working on this project. We try to teach the students not to wait until the last minute. Projects take foresight in planning time most efficiently to your schedule. It will be an Animal Research Paper. They have been assigned a specific animal and species. They will have to complete a graphic organizer on information pertaining to their animal, complete an informational paragraph about their animal, create a cover sheet for their report, a poster for the presentation of their report, and they will have to include a simple bibliography of where they found their information. They should use at least 2 sources to find their information. The report should be written in child's own words and facts should not be copied from a book. They will include their graphic organizer, bibliography, and rubric to the back of their report. This report may be typed on the computer (please print it out at home) or handwritten (please use best handwriting).
FIELD DAY
NOTE: Field Day is scheduled for May 2nd with a rain date of May 9th.
SPRING SHOW
The Spring Show is scheduled for Tuesday, May 7, 2019 at Pope John Paul II High School. Second grade needs to wear a blue shirt (any shade of blue is fine). The practice will be Monday night, May 6, 2016. ALL STUDENTS are expected to attend the practice as well as the show, and they are expected to stay until the end. NO HOMEWORK will be given on these nights to make that possible.
BASKET RAFFLEDon't forget to save the date for our annual Basket Raffle which is planned for Friday, May 3, 2019. This year it is 80s themed!!!

MY STUDENT PROGRESS (MSP) Please check your students progress online weekly on our grading site. This is your way of knowing how your child is progressing. Do not wait until report card time to see your child's grades. You may access their grades as often as you like. Our grading website is MSP. If you need your MSP login information, please contact the school office as I do not have your usernames and passwords at my disposal. I am entering the grades throughout the week and doing the bulk of the grading on the weekend.
