God is good...all the time....all the time...God is good! This is something we say several times a day before we pray in our classroom. What a good reminder...that we serve an all-power, all-loving creator and King! Even when life is tough and even when we have questions...God is still good! There is always something to be thankful for! Sometimes we need to remind ourselves to "look for Jesus". He's always there.

March is Reading Month
This coming week we will have several fun reading activities planned for March's reading month! Be sure to ask your children about the fun things that they are doing.
The rainforest bake sale is coming back to South Side! The first graders will be selling baked goods to help save an acre of the Amazon Rainforest. Each item will be sold for .25 during lunchtime. The bake sale will run from Monday March 27 through Thursday March 30 so don't forget your quarters! Thank you for helping us care for God's creation.
Conferences:
We are looking forward to a special conference time with you AND your child this coming Monday or Wednesday! Remember, that these conferences are STUDENT LED and you will need to take your child with you. The students have worked hard in preparation for this night! Make sure you encourage them before and after the conference and acknowledge their hard work!
This is such an awesome time of celebrating the 2nd grade growth that we've seen, and also coming together to challenge your child in the last few months of 2nd grade. One question your child will ask you at conferences will be, "Mom & Dad, what do you think I'm good at?" Think about this ahead of time, and come with a mental list of some of the ways that you want to encourage your child in who God has created him/her to be!
Kid Town:
Kid Town is right around the corner! It’s a fun Social Studies program where we create products and earn “money” for one week, and then the following week we get to work at various businesses (these will be set up in our school gym—a Pizza Parlor, Pet Store, Post Office, Recycling Shop, Movie Theater, etc) and shop at the businesses. March 27-30 we need students to bring in any (cleaned out) recyclables, wood scraps, or scrap art materials from home! We will be collecting them in the back of our classroom. The week after Spring Break, April 10-14 will be our creating week where we will design items to sell! Soon we will be sending out some sign-up links for parent helpers during our creating week and Kid Town week. Please check your schedule and be on the lookout for our sign-ups. We'll need parent helpers April 10-14 (creating week in our classroom) and April 17-21 (Kid Town week) from 2-3:00pm.
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 the time to be getting a dutch costume for your child!--it's not something you can grab at Meijer the night before. :)
