Gingerbread Man Week
During the week of December 14-18, we will be reading many different versions of the Gingerbread Man. One of the 2nd grade standards is to compare and contrast two or more versions of the same story by different authors or from different cultures. As a concluding activity, each child will get to decorate their own gingerbread house. We will be using milk cartons with graham crackers and candy to decorate. Next week, we will have a class meeting to volunteer to bring a bag of candy or other supply such as frosting or graham crackers. If your student volunteers to bring candy or other supplies, I will send a note home next week with the candy or supply they signed up to bring. I would like all the candy and supplies to be at school by Thursday, December 17! I know money can be tight this time of year, so please do not feel obligated to donate candy or supplies.
Winter Testing
Teachers will be doing our winter window of district testing in the next few weeks. Before Winter Break, I will be sending home a progress report that shows fall testing scores and winter testing scores!
Box Tops
Keep sending Box Tops to school!
