A 2nd Grade Pirate's Survival Kit SY09-10
Dear Students,
Welcome to 2nd Grade! It is an exciting time and maybe a little scary – even for the teacher! We put together this “Survival Kit” to help you get ready for this year. Take a few minutes to have mom or dad tell you about the special meaning of the items in the bag and tell them how you feel about starting 2nd grade. We look forward to getting to know you. We have lots to learn and do together this school year!

Welcome Parents of SY 2009-2010!
Dear Parent(s) / Guardian(s),
Welcome to a NEW and EXCITING School Year here at San Vicente Elementary School. We are looking forward to having your child in our 2nd Grade class. We believe that what happens in class will affect your child’s future.
This year, we begin our theme with “Pirates in the Classroom” Why? Because it’s fun! It breeds creativity, creativity breeds curiosity, and curiosity is the foundation of learning. The children will also be reminded that although pirates are, in fact, bad people the class will be celebrating more of the spirit of adventure.
I would like to take a moment to briefly introduce myself. My name is Kathy Lalaine D. Pagapular. I hold a degree in Elementary Education. I love the outdoors especially playing soccer, hiking, diving, and running. I also enjoy playing the ukulele.
This fall semester, we are very fortunate to have Ms. Annamarie Guerrero as our student teacher. When not busy with school work, Ms. Anna loves spending time with her son. She feels that all students in the CNMI deserve the best that education has to offer and strives to give nothing but the best to the students.
We both believe that a good parent-teacher relationship is necessary for maximum school success. Throughout the year, we will communicate with you through notes, telephone calls, class newsletters, progress reports, and parent-teacher conferences. We also have a class blog www.canaryfeather.blogspot.com. I encourage you to contact us if you have any questions or concerns regarding your child’s welfare. You may call us at school (237-3817).
We have a fantastic group of children in this class. We are looking forward to a terrific year ahead. With your help we can make this happen.

Tiny Irish men and a Pot of Gold
If I had a pot of gold I would trade the gold for many money and when I have the money all scattered in a pile. I would throw it like rain! I would also melt the gold and make a gold sculpture, like a GOLD ANGEL instead of a Snow Angel. If I had a pot of gold I would make Ms. Kathy a real golden tiara and make her golden slippers. -Isa Rabago
- If I catch a leprechaun Id wish I was a famous scientist with a famous laboratory, and I will set him free. I will invent a special robot that would do things fast. I will also invent a robot turtle because it would be great if he was my pet. -Katrina Malate
- If I had a pot of gold I would buy a new house and the house would have a GIGANTIC pool. 10 lamber ginees, 5 four wheelers, and 5 motor cycols. I would also buy a submarine and make the submarine driver drive us all over Mariana Trench. -Eugene Villagomez
- If I catch a leprechaun I would wish my mom's mom comes to Saipan because she never tryed ro come here. I wish my hole family can come here and my grate grama can stay alive and be here for my birthday. - Divonna Agulto
- If I had a pot of gold I would spend a massage on my back and I wud spind it on a hot tub shower and a gold car. - Briana Thomas
- If I had a pot of gold I would buy a great big submarine and a boat to go to managaha. I would also buy a girl turtle and a boy turtle for our class. - Dhalian Salas
- If I had a pot of gold I would keep looking to buy a 2 story house. I would also ask the best good soccer players to teach me cause I always lose in the game. I would be a pet dog, rabbit and well a lot of dogs. I would also take a day off and go on a vacation to Oregon or Guam. I would also go sky diving. -Jayda Mendoza

PGFC
Last Saturday, March 8 2008, was the PGFC (Primaty Grades Forensic Competition) Regional meet @ Marianas High School. It was a long and tiring process but we stuck around for the finals.
Tawnie Ann mentioned "a couple months ago, when we joined our first competition, everyone was nervous and not so confident. Now, look how far we've gotten!" 
Jayda, Dhalian, Erika, Briana and Tawnie awed the audience with their winning piece "Sometimes I feel this way"
Jayda, Dhalian, Erika, Briana and Tawnie awed the audience with their winning piece "Sometimes I feel this way"
Katrina and Isa competed in Duo Interpretation with the infamous piece "If the World was crazy"
Readers Forum: "Click Clack Moo cows that type" was Tawnie's choice and below Sullivan also read "If the world was crazy" by Shel Silverstein
Briana and her sister Katie warmed our hearts with their pretty smiles and giggles as we all waited for the results.
KUDOS to Jayda Mendoza, Tawnie Ann Manibusan, Erika Lansang, Dhalian Salas, Briana Thomas, Isa Rabago, Katrina Malate, and Sullivan Kazuo... You make me the happiest teacher in the world!
A SHOUT OUT goes out to the family and friends who came and encouraged the kids to give it their all.
