Class List
Class Lists are for Valentine Cards!! If you don’t use the list, please return it to me. Thanks!
Valentine’s Day
Next Wednesday, February 14 is Valentine’s Day. Students may bring Valentine cards and a piece of candy to pass to each child. I will send a class list home so your child can write each student’s name, or your child could just sign his/her own name and leave it blank. Some of the children have asked to make a box to put the cards and candy in. I usually give our paper bags to decorate and fill those but I am fine if your child wants to make a special box at home and bring it that day. Thanks!
Book-It
January Book-It calendars are due this week. I will send February’s calendar today.
2nd Grade Math Test Change
I have an unexpected meeting on Monday afternoon so I am moving Unit 5 test to Tuesday afternoon.
Update on Field Trip
Tomorrow is our field trip to the Detroit Historical Museum and Orchestra Hall. Please have your child wear a Howe or a red shirt tomorrow. Chaperones please check in at the office around 8:45, check in with me and then wait in the cafeteria. We are scheduled to leave at 9:15 but if the bus is ready before that, we will leave earlier. Please remember to pack your child a lunch tomorrow too. The museum does not sell food. Thanks!
Boots in Class
I have asked students to please bring a change of shoes for the classroom for after we have recess. Boots at recess get wet and snowy and sometimes muddy depending on our lovely Michigan weather. We have carpet in the room and it gets a little soggy. I have told the students I may make it a rule but haven’t done so yet. Please send extra shoes. Thanks!
Unit 5 Math Test
Next Monday, February 5 the students will be having the Unit 5 Math Test. I sent a practice test home yesterday. Please email me if you need the answer sheet. Thanks!
Spelling Test this week
The Spelling Test and Fact Sheet Tests will be given on Thursday instead of Friday because of the field trip.
