Maker's Week is truly an amazing week. It provides the students with an opportunity to create, problem solve, and work alongside someone else. It was amazing to see what they created and to hear their stories. I am so thankful for this week and I hope you enjoyed hearing some of their exciting tales at the dinner table.
Fun Night:
Family Fun Night is TONIGHT, March 10, 2017 5:30 – 8:00pm at Pine Ridge. Hope to see some familiar faces. The second grade team will be working the Cake Walk.
Homework Reminders:
- New spelling words will be coming home today. The test will be Friday, March 17th.
- New math homework and purple reading slips will be coming home on Monday. Thanks for your diligence with getting these handed in each week.

-Yellow reading incentive slips came home last Friday in the Friday Folder! Please have your child bring those in weekly if they want to participate in the March reading incentive plan!
Field Trip (NEXT WEEK):
We will be having a field trip to the Holland Police Station and the courthouse in the afternoon of Wednesday, March 15. This trip goes well with what we are learning about in Social Studies and provides a neat way to see different parts of our community. We are looking for 4 parent helpers for the afternoon. Please use the link below to sign up if you are interested! Thanks so much! 
At the end of March, we will be having conferences. 2nd grade takes a different twist on conferences in the Spring--they are actually STUDENT LED. This means that your son/daughter joins us in conversation, and he/she leads the conference. We work hard at creating a portfolio and collecting work samples, and it is an awesome experience for you to see how your child has taken ownership of his/her learning. As teacher and parents, we are able to encourage and pour into your child, as well as find ways to challenge him/her for the last quarter of 2nd grade.
On Friday, March 17 at 8am you will be able to start signing up for our Student-led conferences via the HC email you will receive. HC conference slots are March 27 and March 29 from 4:00-8:00pm.
Tulip Time: Tulip Time is right around the corner! We will once again be marching in the Thursday Kinderparade. One heads up you'll want to remember now is getting a dutch costume for your child!--it's not something you can grab at Meijer the night before. :) I saw this used dutch costume sale and thought we'd pass it along:
