Fortis Second Grade Tues/Thurs 2/20-2/24

Hello Families! Can you believe it's already the middle of February?  We had an interesting science lab on Thursday that the kids enjoyed. I will be posting pics tonight on the private Facebook group. Please look out for those.  Also we have our timeline quiz coming up on Tuesday.  

News: We will be having a special "St. Francis of Assisi" Day in a couple of weeks.  I met with Mrs. Lafferty this afternoon and discussed plans for this day as well as other things for Quarter 4.  We will have special activities for this day. In preparation for that, please have your child practice the St. Francis prayer at home during the next couple of weeks. We do recite this everyday in class but extra practice at home would be great!
