Ms. Ward's Super Second Graders
November 9th, 2023
Note From Ms. Ward
It's crazy to think November is almost done! Next week is our last full week of November. We will be finishing up a bunch of things in preparation for starting some new units after the break. Kids have been really enjoying their jobs and earning fake money to buy passes for things in the classroom. It's fun to see them work on saving money and seeing if they have enough to purchase what they would like.
Important Dates

From The Team
Nuts & Bolts
Birthdays- We love to celebrate your child’s birthday! Non-food items such as pencils, erasers, stickers, bookmarks, ect, are more than welcome.
Absences/Change in Dismissal- Since we do not always have time to check our emails throughout the teaching day, please call the office, 503-673-7300, with any absences or late changes to dismissal.
Emails/Phone Calls- The teacher-family partnership is important to us! We strive to return emails and calls within 24-48 hours. Thank you for your patience!
Volunteering- If you would like to volunteer in the classroom, here is the signup sheet again. Also, please make sure that you have registered through the district. You can find the link to that through ParentVUE. https://docs.google.com/document/d/11Ru9INks2QeSVYniICyRPzC_nhdex0LHDusVcES4gvI/edit?usp=sharing
