MERRY CHRISTMAS FROM SECOND GRADE!
We wish all our second grade families a very Merry Christmas! It is a blessing to teach your child about God’s greatest Gift each and every day! We love to watch your children grow and look forward to the amazing things God has in store for us in 2021! Please have a safe and wonderful Christmas Break! Students will return on Tuesday, January 5th.
BIBLE TEST #18
Want a jump start? The new verse will come home on Jan. 5th (or you can see it now at the top right of this page), and the next test will be the Friday after Christmas break. Since that’s only a four day week (due to the 4th being a Teacher Workday), you may want to look ahead. We will also email it to you on the 4th. Our next verse will be 2 Corinthians 5:17!
SPELLING TEST #16
Spelling words for List 16 will be emailed to you on Monday, January 4th, in case you want to get a jump start on studying that first week back from break. We wanted you to have access to them, since that will only be a four day week. As always, you can find them here at the top right of the blog.
