New Song and Grandparent Project

I introduced a new song for the kids for learning to skip count. We are learning to count by 11s. Hopefully this link works, but check it out. The kids LOVE this song! Grains of Sand Song

Don't forget that the grandparent interview is due the Monday we get back. If you need any of the information click on the links.

Christmas Surprise!

It is hard to believe but the holiday season is almost here!  With Thanksgiving just weeks away, Christmas will be here before we know it!

In 2nd grade, we make an extra special gift for our parents.  This gift is a secret gift, so please don't ask them what they are making!  We have told them to keep this gift to themselves- so no trying to get it out of them!! ;0)  We want you to be surprised on Christmas Day!

To help cover the cost of the gift, we are asking each family to send in $5.50 by Monday, November 15th.  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 November 19th, we save on Shipping and Handling charges, plus we get a 10% discount on the whole order!  Too good of a deal to pass up!!  Thanks for understanding!!!

Bi-weekly Notes

Due to conferences and report cards, your child will not be receiving a bi-weekly note for the next couple weeks.  They will resume the week after Thanksgiving.  Thanks for your understanding and cooperation! 

I look forward to seeing all of you next week for conferences.  Please remember to send back the signed portion of the note so that I know the scheduled time works for you.  Thanks again!


 

Soldier Pics

This is a little late, but here are some pics of our class and Mrs. Nicolai's class with some of the supplies for the soldiers! :)

Updates

Students received a homework assignment today to use the research sheet to find some facts about an animal of their choice. Please help them to complete this. They do not need to do the topic sentence, we will do that together in class. They just need the habitat fact, what the animal eats and 2 facts of their choice. Students can use, but are not limited to the information sheet I provided. They can use the internet, books or other resources to find their information. Please send fact sheet back by Wednesday.

Here is the latest Scoop and November's calendar.

Enjoy your day off tomorrow. See you on Wednesday!
