12/3-12/7
Dear Parents,
It's sort of hard to believe that Christmas break is almost here! That was fast! I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas. Despite the busyness and stress that the holidays sometimes bring, I hope that the birth of Christ and God's plan for redemption through His Son brings you incredible joy over the next few weeks. Merry Christmas!
Please don't forget that on Wednesday, December 5th, we will have our 2nd grade Classical book exchange! We would love for you to bring a wrapped, new or gently used book so that the students can enjoy giving a gift to one of their classmates and going home with a present.
Have a WONDERFUL holiday!
Mrs. Poncy
Important Info:
Binder Organization: Consider taking some time over the break to clean out your child's binder of 2nd quarter work to make room for the next one!
Third Quarter Poem/Memory Work: This week, we will begin learning our 3rd quarter poem, "How All Things Praise the Lord!" This poem will be due the end of February. I will send the poem home this week, so look for it in your child's binder.
*PLEASE NOTE: DON'T FORGET SOUTH ASIA MAP DUE 1/30
Reading over the break: Although there is no official work assigned over the break, due to the amount of time we have off, please continue to help your child build stamina in reading by having them read independently and reading with them frequently.

Dear Parents,
I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday! I'm excited to finish strong before our winter break coming up in two weeks! We have a short amount of time left, but a lot to cover! :) I'm especially looking forward to studying our new virtue this week, righteousness, and studying the life of the Monks who demonstrated loyalty and devotion to God!
On Wednesday, December 5th, we will have a book exchange in class! We would love for you to bring a classical book that is new or gently used, so the students can enjoy giving a present to a friend and going home with a new book!
Looking forward to a wonderful week,
Mrs. Poncy

Dear Parents,
Thanksgiving is almost here! During this holiday, I'm specifically thankful God has seen it fit to allow me the opportunity to teach your child and to help build your child's view of God and His Kingdom. I hope all of you have a wonderful Thanksgiving break as we all take this holiday to rest in His provision, love, and eternal promises.
Happy Thanksgiving,
Mrs. Poncy
Important Info:
Science/History Journals: I am going to take some time over the break to read more in depth your child's written responses. Please have them bring this to class on WED, and I'll return them on Monday, November 26th.
Cursive writing: We're picking up the pace a bit in cursive this week! I would like to have all the letters introduced by the end of the 2nd quarter so students can start writing in cursive after the Christmas break. I love seeing their cursive developing so nicely in class.
