Second grade is fabulous!  We have fun learning, playing games, and doing experiments.  Best of all, we get to receive two special sacraments this year, First Reconciliation and First Communion!

First Communion was April 21st at St. Wenceslaus at 10:00!  The First Communicants worked very hard in preparing to receive Jesus for the first time.  Please join me in praying for themas they continue to grow in their faithfilled journey!

The second grade class has been writing letters back and forth to their penpals at Villa Duchesne Oak Hill School all year.  They finally got to meet their penpals on May 17th at Tower Grove Park!  They introduced themselves, played a game, and made ornaments for the babies in the NICU.

Before spring break, second grade students invited family members to speak about their jobs.  We learned from more than ten visitors, including a nurse, pharmaceutical scientist, director of housing, phone technician, lawyer, chef, police officers, and much more!  Thank you to all who visited, and helped us learn more about jobs in our community!

Each night for homework, second graders need to complete the following:

• The B side of their Saxon Math fact practice, and guided practice

• Study their spelling words for the test on Friday

•  Read 10 minutes

• On nights that no Math homework is assigned, students will have a short 3 sentence book report
