This Week...
We had an exciting week of celebration and appreciation this week. On Monday, 2nd grade celebrated our 50th day of school, can you believe it, already? They celebrated by playing 50's games, dressing like they did in the 50's, and drinking root beer floats!
Tuesday we showed appreciate to all of our veterans as we paid tribute during Veterans Day. The day was filled with heartfelt notes, decorations, speeches, and songs. Thank you to our veterans past and present.
Happy Weekend,
Robin

The best take-way from the reading is to remember to STAY PRESENT. Don't let the device do all the work...continue to discuss and comment on the reading with your child. Continue to foster a love of reading! ;)

Buddy Bench
It is here, our Buddy Bench! Great thanks to our PTO for the purchase! Below is additional information about how it originated and its intention.
The bench was constructed by Mr. John (THANK YOU!) and is currently out on the blacktop.
The gist:
What Is The Buddy Bench?
The buddy bench is a simple idea to eliminate loneliness and foster friendship on the playground. Let's spread the message of inclusion and kindness!

Teachers and students alike will be aware of the bench and will help foster new friendships. If you feel like your child could use a kind "hand", please reach out to your classroom teacher to help facilitate this.
