Time certainly flies when you're having fun!  Ask any of our second graders and they will definitely agree. They have been very busy learning all new skills in reading and math. Certainly not forgetting what makes us different from all other schools, our Catholic Faith. All of these skills have played an important role in your child's year, ask them! We wish them the best as they continue to grow in all of these areas and especially in their faith.

The students have enjoyed many lessons and activities this year. However, one lesson that they certainly enjoyed is the story we recently finished in our reading textbooks called, Dex The Heart of a Hero (one of their favorite stories).  It's about a dog named Dex who wanted to be a superhero. He wanted to help the people in his neighborhood. He prepared himself to be a superhero by reading the comics, watching movies, going to the library, and exercising.  Dex had a superhero suit that let people know in his town that he was there to help. 

The class had a great discussion about what a hero is and what heroes mean to them.  We discussed some famous heroes as well as heroes that are not famous, but are important people who work and live in our community. The students learned that you don't need to be famous to be a hero. A hero is a person who does something brave, works hard, and who takes that extra step to reach out and help others. Heroes come from different cultures and different places. Some are old and some are young. With confidence and determination we learned that we can all be heroes!

The students had a chance to reflect and to use their imagination to make and create their own comic books on a Superhero.  They were excited and worked very hard and diligently on their books.  They did a great job!
