I also wanted to remind you that our BOOK FAIR is next week!  Our class will preview the books on Monday at 10:30.  I will have your child write 3-4 books down on a wish list and send it home that evening.  We will then return to the book fair on Wednesday at 10:30 to purchase books.  If you are interested in your child buying books from the Book Fair please have the money sent to school on Wednesday.  Don't forget to include 6% sales tax to all book prices.  A portion of the proceeds goes back to Bauer to benefit our students.  Plus, it is fun to get new books!!!

Parent Teacher Conferences

I am sending home a paper with your date and time for parent teacher conferences tonight.  Since there is not a Friday Folder today, I wanted you to be aware it is coming home.  Please sign and return it as soon as possible!  Thanks so much!  I am looking forward to sharing your child’s progress with you soon!  Have a great day! 

Picture Retakes

If you were hoping to have your child get new school pictures, our Picture Retake Day is Wednesday, October 23.  Please make sure to bring back their original picture packet to get their picture retaken.  Thanks!

Also, if you have not turned in your child's t-shirt money, please do so by Friday, October 25.  Thanks!

Mark your calendars....Bauer is having a Book Fair the week of October 28.  This is a great opportunity to get new books for your 2nd grader.  You could even begin to shop for Christmas!  I know that is REALLY thinking ahead, but it will be here in no time!  Also, we will be having a classroom book exchange for the students at Christmas time.  We are hoping that all students will have a $3-5 book to exchange in class.  The Book Fair would be a great place to find a book for the book exchange.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Friday Reminders!

We have another busy Friday ahead!

Tomorrow is Sports Day!  Students can wear clothes supporting their favorite team.  I have a feeling that I may see quite a bit of blue and orange tomorrow...Go Tigers!

Also, tomorrow is our first popcorn day.  YUM!

Last, we also have our first math assessment tomorrow.  This assessment will cover Unit 1.  Please see the completed practice test that was sent home today.  The assessment tomorrow will look very similar to this one.

Junior Achievement in 2nd Grade

Our class is taking part in something called Junior Achievement this year.  We will have people from local businesses come to talk with our class and complete fun activities.  It will focus on our local community which ties right in to our Social Studies curriculum.  If you are interested in participating and are a part of a local business, please let me know!  Here are the details from the Junior Achievement representative:

Interested parents should know that it’s 5 sessions, each about 30-40 minutes long. The schedule is set up by you the teacher and them, and that you’ll be in the class the entirety of their stay.  I would meet with them and train them personally and have them prepared for the class.

There is no pressure as Junior Achievement will also contact local people for us.  Just thought I’d make you aware of the opportunity!  Thanks so much!  Have a great day!
