The 10 Days Before Winter Break Bags
Friday, December 11, 2015 - General News
Well our first five days of the "Ten Days Before Winter Break" was a success! The students loved the surprises!!
- We will be concluding our Mealworm unit this coming up week. Please be sure to send back the permission slip, if you would like your child to bring home their mealworm.
- Spelling lists went home on Thursday for List #15. Our test will be on Thursday, December 17th.
- After break, Mrs. Burck and I will be leading an after school Theater Club. Please check your child's folder for details and a permission slip.
- Brrrrr! The weather is getting colder; please be sure to send your child with outerwear they will be comfortable in. The children go outside for recess everyday (except on the extremely cold days).
Below are some wonderful web based resources (educational games) for your child.
Also, check out our 2nd Grade Google page, where you can find what we're doing in class (curriculum), homework, MORE pictures and what's coming up! Check them out!!
