A few fun things...

I couldn't wait until next week to tell you that our class won the most hallway tokens this month for their great hallway manners!  They chose to have a Pajama Day as our reward.  I will schedule that day sometime in December.  Here is the picture after our victory.  We get to keep the trophy in our room all month!

Also, yesterday the students wrote letters from the perspective of a turkey.  They were trying to convince me, the farmer, to spare them from becoming Thanksgiving dinner.  We had a lot of fun decorating turkeys and sharing our letters.  I was very impressed with their creativity!  Later in the day, I received a couple pictures of my parents back yard.  I thought the students would get a kick out of them.  My parents live in the woods.  I guess the turkeys are trying to find someplace to hide! :)  There were 42 total turkeys!!!

Happy Thanksgiving!

I am very thankful for this great group of 2nd graders!  They make me smile every single day.  I hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving with your family!

I am THANKFUL for you!

Scholastic Book Order

Today I have home a Scholastic book order.  There are many great books that could make great Christmas presents!  Here are some of my favorites:
*Geronimo Stilton
*Amelia Bedelia
*Pinkalious
*Cam Jansen
*Flat Stanley
*And many informational books about animals, snow, and other great topics!

If you are interested in ordering, please return your order and payment (checks made out to Scholastic) to school by Friday, December 6.  You can also place your order online using the code HM67V.

Happy shopping!  Please let me know if the books you order are gifts that you don't want your 2nd grader to see.

Fancy Day

Random Midweek Reminders

1.  Remember that tomorrow night (November 13th) is Marco's Pizza Night!  Once again the class with the most pizza orders from that evening will win a PIZZA PARTY!  This is also a great fundraiser for the school.  And did I mention great pizza?

2.  Also, keep sending in those donation for our food drive!  I hope to fill our bucket this week so the students can bring our donations down to the gym to add them to the collection.  The gym is filling up!

3.  I am sure you heard that our class t-shirts arrived!  Don't they look great!  We are excited to wear them all on the same day sometime soon.
