Updates

I just had a few random items to share with you...

1.  Due to all of the snow days, I haven't placed our Scholastic book order yet.  If you are still interested in ordering, please do so by Tuesday, February 4.

2.  I have attached a class list of our 2nd graders for you to use when addressing Valentines.  Please have your child's Valentines sent to school by Friday, February 14.  We will pass them out and open them that morning.

Class List for Valentines

3.  Here are a few photos from Dress Alike Day!

I couldn't resist sharing this one too.  We made 3D shapes using marshmallows and toothpicks.  They were very proud of their creations!

Dress Alike Day

I can't believe this weather and that we are home again!   Who knew that we would have TWO winter breaks!  I hope you are enjoying the extra days with your kids.

I just wanted to send out a reminder that tomorrow is DRESS ALIKE DAY!  Your child can wear our class t-shirt to match a whole bunch of 2nd graders.  See you tomorrow (hopefully)!

Newsletter: January 24

Here is the newsletter for last week and a few fun pictures of our subtraction poem motions.

Also, due to our snow/cold days, we will have Dress Alike Day on Thursday, January 30.  Don't forget your child can wear our class t-shirt to be a twin to many other students.

Also, in preparation for Santa Secret Shop NEXT YEAR we are looking for any Christmas bags that you would like to donate.  If you received a plethora of Christmas bags this year, we would love to take them off your hands.  Please them into to school and we will save them for next year.  Thank you!

Here are a few pictures from our day.  We made poster about the characters within a series.  We then shared the character traits that described that character with our reading partners.

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

I am feeling very spoiled...very blessed.  I honestly was so excited to see the second graders and do our gift exchange that I completely forgot about the chance of students giving me gifts.  Wow!  You all truly out did yourself!  Thank you for the all of the great presents and gift cards.  I am excited to use them all.  YUM!!!!

SRC

This week we will begin another session of SRC.  This time your child will have a MUCH higher goal.  This is because students will be able to take more than one quiz a week.  In fact, I set the goals with the hope that students take 2-3 quizzes a week.  They will not be limited to one quiz a week.  Instead, they can take a quiz whenever they finish a good fit book at their level.  Also, they will be able to get new library books throughout the week (except for Mondays when the library is closed).  Students have 16 weeks to make it to their goal (middle of May).  I have sent home a new bag, bookmark, and reading log today.

Happy reading!!!

Snow Days

This is some CRAZY weather!  Nothing that we could have prepared for in our classrooms.  Unfortunately, due to our snow days, we will be canceling our Christmas party.  However, we will still do the student gift exchange the day we return back to school.  Until then...stay warm and safe!
