Fortis Second Grade Tues/Thurs 12/5-12/8

 Hello Families! It's the last week of school before our long break. You all deserve a huge pat on the back and a rejuvenating rest for all your hard work and diligence at home with your children! They have grown so much! All of my students are a blessing and I'm honored that God chose me to be a small part of their life journey.  Thank you for partnering with me and for all your support.

Our Christmas party is this Thursday afternoon! Please see your email for a sign up link and details.  Also, please send a gently used or new wrapped classical children's book for our book exchange.

 Hello Parents! Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving with your family!  Thank you for all your contributions to our Samaritan's Purse Christmas box collection! We were able to put together 3 boxes to bless 3 children across the world! God is good to us! We are wrapping up with these last couple of weeks before our long break.  Assessments are on the blog this week both for home and school. Please submit your assessments via email.  

We will be having a Christmas party next Thursday afternoon during our usual Science period.  Please plan on sending a food/drink item and a gently used children's classical literature book wrapped for our gift exchange.  

*Request for this week's science lesson--please help your child find and bring 5 different leaves to school in a ziploc or paper bag for our lesson on Thursday.
