Fortis Academy Second Grade - May 3-7, 2021

 The last week of school is almost upon us but we're not there yet!  We have several things of note this week:

MAP testing will be done Monday (Growth) & Wednesday (Math) morning.  If you haven't already done so, please let me know by Monday, May 3 if you want your child tested for fluency also.

Medieval Feast on Wednesday, May 5, 2-3p.  We will start off our celebration in the sanctuary with a short presentation of Feast Essays and our artwork followed by an actual feast in the cafeteria.  We hope you will be able to join us to celebrate how hard the students have been working!  Students may wear costumes if they wish that are from the Medieval time period.  This is optional but students need to wear either uniforms or the historical figure costumes (no spirit gear please).

Upcoming Due Dates:

5/3-Southeast Asia Map            5/5-Be Thou My Vision Recitation

5/10-History Journals Due        5/10-Planet Reports Due
