Classroom News…

  • Please turn in November reading calendars by Wednesday.  They must be signed by a parent to receive their free pizza coupon.
  • The RAZ-kids trial expires on the 8th of December.  I know many kids told me today that they had tested it out.  I would love to hear your feedback.
  • The collection has started for canned goods.  If you are able to donate a few, that would be great.   The collection lasts this week only.  Our class collected 12 cans today.
  • SCIENCE QUIZ coming up on Wednesday.  I listed the learning goals and a few examples of each just for ideas.  It covers:
  1. properties of ice (solid, slippery, hard, cold) and water (liquid, room temperature,wet)
  2. ways we use water (cooking, swimming, cleaning, showers, watering plants)
  3. where we get our water (lakes, rivers, ponds, well, spring)
  • On the 19th of December (last day of school before break) we will do a book exchange.  Each student should bring in a new, wrapped book.  It can be a picture book or a chapter book, but should be something you think a 2nd grader would like to read.  If you cannot get a book, please let me know – I ordered a few extra from Scholastic this month just in case.
  • Spelling words this week:  chill, cheat, sheep, shine, think, this, while, whine, chase, chair
  • We continue to have many students out with illness.  Please keep your child at home if they have a temperature or are not feeling well.  We will continue to try and keep our hands and tables clean so that we are not passing on germs.
