Important Announcements:
*Next week is ISTEP+ testing for grades 3 – 5. Because of the testing, our specials time will be switched on Monday and Thursday of next week. We will be having specials from 10:20 - 11:05 on Monday and Thursday ONLY. As second graders, we will try very hard to
not be disruptive in the hallways and encourage our intermediate grades to do
their best!
*I am doing a reading incentive in the classroom that
started on Monday and will continue through Friday, March 22nd. Your child has a sticker chart with 26 spaces
on it. When he/she reads a book and
passes a reading counts quiz over the book, he/she can earn stickers for the
chart. Each book has a point value. Most books are worth one point, but some of
the books are worth two and three points.
A sticker will be awarded for each point of the book so a book worth two
points will receive two stickers. The
first time your child fills the chart, he/she will earn a reward. The second time a chart is filled, he/she
will be invited to a pizza party with Miss Whisman. The kids are really excited about this, and
the goal is to encourage them to read as much as possible!
*You have received information about the second grade penny
war to benefit Kids against Hunger. The
penny war will take place the week of March 11th and the winning
class will earn a reward. However, the
real reward will come on Friday, March 22nd when the second grade
comes together to do the food pack to benefit hungry families all around the
world. We will need parent volunteers for this so mark your calendar if you
are interested in helping out!
*The March Book-It calendar will be sent home on Monday,
March 4th. Your child will
need to complete the reading and return the calendar on Friday, March 22nd. Happy reading!
*The end of the third nine weeks is quickly
approaching! The end of the nine weeks
is Friday, March 15th. Report
cards will be posted on Friday, March 22nd.
*Mark your calendars now! Our class will be
participating in the Micronauts program at the Challenger Learning Center on
Wednesday, March 20, 2013. We will leave school at 9:00 a.m. and return at
11:30 a.m. For this mission, we will need at least 8 parent volunteers.
More information will be coming!
