Duh!

Thank you to everyone who is volunteering to help on TUESDAY, October 25th for pumpkin math.  In the note that went home, I had Tuesday, October 26th as the date.  I apologize for any confusion. 

Also, we have our Red Ribbon spirit week next week.  Don't forget to have your child wear:
Monday- sweats or warmups for "Walking Out On Drugs Is NO Sweat!"
Tuesday- favorite hat for "Put a CAP on Drugs!"
Wednesday- crazy hair day for "Use Your Head, Don't Do Drugs"
Thursday- wear clothes backwards for "Turn Your Back on Drugs"
Friday- wear something red for and bring in a canned or boxed food item for "I Can, You Can, We Can Be Drug FREE!"

Have a great weekend.  Be sure to check out the website.  I will be uploading some fun pictures!

Class Reward

Congratulations to our class.  They have achieved in filling our jar of marbles.  The students have decided to have a “Read In.”  This will take place tomorrow, Friday, October 21st.  Please have your child bring in a sleeping bag, and/or pillow and any favorite books from home.  We will move all the tables aside and lay out the sleeping bags and pillows while everyone enjoys an afternoon of reading.  The students would also like to have a pajama day that day also, so please have your child dress in pj’s to show their class spirit!

Oops!

There was a typo on the Christmas note that went home today.  The money is due by Friday, October 21st!  Thanks.  I reposted the note below.

In 2nd Grade, we make an extra special gift for our parents.  This gift is a secret gift so please do not ask them what they are making.  We have told them to keep this gift making to themselves – so no trying to get it out of them!!   :)  We want you to be surprised on Christmas! 

To help cover the cost of the gift, we are asking each family to send in $5.50 by Friday, October 21st. The money will go towards the making of this great surprise!  Sorry for the short notice, however, if we have our order in to the company by Nov. 4th, we save on Shipping and Handling charges plus we get a 10% discount on the order!  Too good of a deal to pass up!!!  Thanks for understanding!

Also, book orders are due by Monday!  Thanks!!

Hi!  I just wanted you to know that I had EVERY intention of having the first batch of bi-weekly notes done, but somehow the week got away from me.  I will finish them up over the weekend and send them home on Monday.  Thank you for your understanding. 

Also, MEAP testing will start next week.  Due to that our specials will be jumbled a little for the next 3 weeks.  Instead of having research center in the afternoon on Wednesdays, we will have it at 9:40-10:40 on Wednesday mornings.  I just wanted to make you aware of this change.

Have a great weekend!

Students Who Play School

Frequently, throughout the year, I will ask students who like to play school if they would like handouts.  These handouts are sheets we didn't do from math or copies I never got around to completing.  Instead of throwing them out, I give them to the kids to play school at home.  These are NOT to be completed.  They are just for fun.  Typically when they come home, you will see a few of the same sheet.  If you are ever unsure if it was a school friend worksheet or homework, please feel free to contact me!  Thanks!!
