Here is our schedule: Monday Library and P.E. (Sneakers) Tuesday P.E. Wednesday Art Thursday Music and P.E.(Sneakers) Friday Library (Keyboarding and Book Exchange)
**We have SNACK FROM HOME every day. Second graders are continuing to grow very quickly and need an extra boost at mid-morning. Our lunch is later than first grade, 11:50. Being hungry is no fun and decreases their stamina for learning.
I assign HOMEWORK every Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, from September thru May. It should take no more than 15 min. to a half hour. If for some reason homework cannot be done or completed, write me a note and we'll work it out.
Upcoming Events:
Not yet scheduled: Our visit to MCSIS, and our field trip to the Hudson Athens Lighthouse!!
We will be walking up to the Firemen's Museum in May; I will let you know which day.
May 13 Using unused snow day May 17 Half Day for Students/ Conference Afternoon for Teachers May 26-May 30 Memorial Day Long Weekend June 16th Second Grade Moving Up at MCSIS at 9:30. If you plan to sign your child out after the ceremony, you must do it after s/he has returned to JLE via school bus. June 21,22,23 are half days at JLE. Please send your child to school on June 23rd!! They like receiving their report cards and saying good bye to their teacher and friends!
Second Graders, Eighth Graders, and Eleventh Graders receive trips that are supported by a grant from Hudson Arts & Humanities Fund of the Berkshire Taconic Community Foundation. The trips must be a part of Arts and Humanities to be funded.
We cannot take chaperones to the lighthouse because the boat that we take doesn't hold enough people. We take the Little Spirit of the Hudson pontoon boat out. The children wear floatation devices. We've been going for many years (7 I think) and haven't had any problems.Safety first, always!
