Important Announcements:
*You have received information about the second grade penny
war to benefit Kids against Hunger. The
penny war will take place next week 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 an orphanage in Haiti. We
will need parent volunteers for this so mark your calendar if you are
interested in helping out!
*Permission slips for our field trips to Micronauts and
McCloud Nature Park were sent home yesterday.
The permission slip and $1 need to
be returned by Friday, March 15th.
*This next week the Student Council will
be collecting items for “Loving Care Pack-ages” for Riley Hospital. Each child
who donates any of the following items will receive a Riley Hospital for Kids
bracelet.
Items to donate: bottled water, healthy snacks, journals with pens, small hand lotion or
hand sanitizer, lip balm, and tissues.
*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 me. The kids are really excited about this, and the goal is to encourage them to read as much as possible!
*The March Book-It calendar was 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.
