Please remember that tomorrow will be our first Parent Involvement Day.  Please remember to bring your bag of coins for the games!  See you at 9:00 in the classroom and 8:40 in the cafeteria!

Truxall’s class will preview on Monday.  We will shop on Tuesday, December 13.  Please have your child’s shopping form and payment by this day.  Thanks!

Ms. Truxall’s class will be having a Christmas/Holiday Craft Party on Friday, December 23 towards the end of the day.  We will need parent volunteers to help run the party.  We will need a few crafts that you supply and be in charge of during the party.  Ideas can range from decorating cookies, making ornaments, etc.  Please be mindful of our carpet and not have too messy a craft.  The craft should be simple enough for students to complete with just a little guidance from you.  We will also need some treats that day.  It would be nice to have a combination of healthy(veggies, fruit) and not so healthy (cookies, goodies) snacks.  If you are interested in volunteering your time to do a craft with us or provide a snack, please email me.  Thanks!

If you are coming on Tuesday, December 13 please bring a plastic bag filled with 14 pennies, 10 nickels, 10 dimes, 4 quarters and one $1 bill.  We will use these items to play one of the games.  The bag of money will go back home with you and it’ll be ready for play.  I’ll provide the game sheet and paper clip.  Thanks!

Mark your calendars parents!  We are having a special morning coming on Tuesday, December 13 from 8:40 to 9:30.  I will be presenting Math games and strategies to both you and your child. We will play some of the games in class and discuss ways you can do these at home.  Please join your child in my room at 9.  Ms. Fournier will give a quick talk in the cafeteria from 8:40 to 9 and then you will all come to the classroom!  I hope all of you are able to attend.  1 parent please due to lack of seating and space.  Thanks!

Picture retake is tomorrow.  If you’d like your child’s picture retaken, please send in the pictures tomorrow and new pictures will be taken.  Thanks.

November Book-It is due tomorrow.  I will accept completed calendars all next week as well.  New calendars will be coming home today.

The 2nd graders will be having a math test next Monday, December 5.  This is a change from what is written on the practice test sent home yesterday.   This will allow more study time!

Since this week coming is a short week, we will not have spelling and/or facts sheets.  Students can write in journals on Tuesday.  Otherwise, no homework this week!

Late start tomorrow!  Classes begin at 9:40.
