Dear Parents,

We had a wonderful first week in Second grade! We're picking up the pace a bit this week, as we dive into Silent Letter Pairs, Comparing Numbers, Place Value to the Hundreds, and we start a new unit in Science: Oceans, Rivers, and Lakes. This week's virtue is courage! My prayer this week is that this week's memory verse would be sown deeply into the students' hearts. Thank you for such a wonderful first week!

Important dates: 
8/27 - Open House
8/29 - Pizza Day (kids can wear a Fortis T-shirt and jeans or uniform bottoms)


Blessings in Christ, 

Mrs. Poncy
