Weekly Update 11-22-13


Important Announcements:

*Today I am sending home the yellow Family Letter that I send home each Friday with the spelling words.  However, we will NOT have a test over the spelling words next week.  I think the activities are useful activities for you to do at home with your child, and we will still be talking about compound words next week during reading. 

*Our Fall Party will take place on Wednesday, November 27th from 2:00 – 2:45.  Thank you so much to Mrs. Fought for organizing our party.  I would also like to thank the parents that donated items and plan on volunteering during our party.  I know the children will have a great time! 

*There will be no school on Thursday, November 28th and Friday, November 29th.  Have a Happy Thanksgiving!  This year I am thankful that I have such wonderful students and supportive parents.  YOU are the reason I love teaching! 

*Make sure Monday, December 9th is marked on your calendars!  That is the evening of the second grade music program!  It will be a wonderful program that your child has been working very hard on preparing for you!  The program starts at 6:30.  Your child will need to be dropped off at the classroom at 6:10 p.m. 

*I believe in building relationships with the children both inside my classroom and outside the classroom.  If your child participates in any extracurricular activities (sports, dance, theater, etc.), or has any other events that he/she would like to invite me to, please let me know, and I will do my best to come! 

*The blog will also be updated with this information as well so if you need to see it again visit http://misswhisman.blogspot.com .
