Mrs. Janutolo's 2nd Grade Class
December 12, 2014
Students learned about computer science and programming during Hour of Code! An email was sent out this week with a list of free coding apps if your child would like to learn more!
TCE's Hour of Code
Students are finding realia to represent our past and current vocabulary words! They have also been noticing these words in their reading!
Gingerbread House Decorating
We will be decorating gingerbread houses on this Thursday, December 18th from 10:45 to 11:45. A permission form and ingredient list was sent home on Monday. Please return the permission form as soon as possible. Students will not be able to participate without a permission form.
Don't forget that all parents are invited to attend! Please indicate on the permission form if you will be attending. We hope you will be able to join us for this fun event!
Icing for Gingerbread Houses
Please remember that each student will need their own container of white icing (any brand) to decorate their gingerbread house. Please write your child's name on the container and send it in as soon as possible! Thank you!
Holiday Party
Our holiday party will be next Friday from 1:45-2:45. A big thanks to Mrs. Urbina and our other room parent volunteers for planning it! The students are so excited!
