Important Announcements:
*
There is nothing better than experiencing the excitement of Christmas through
the perspective of children. This week
was filled with lots of fun and many moments that made me smile. I will be spending the vacation time with
family and friends. My family will be
traveling to Washington, Indiana to spend some time with our extended family,
too. Whatever your plans are, I pray for
happiness, peace, joy, safety, and many wonderful memories for each and every
one of you. Merry Christmas and Happy
New Year!
*Our
class was drawn this week for good behavior.
Our reward was to have VIP seating for our special Silly Safari program
on Wednesday. The Silly Safari was
earned by the school for accumulating 20,000 behavior tickets. Our class had great seats and several of us
were chosen by the presenter to be part of the show and hold some animals. Each of us got to pet the reindeer Noel,
too. The children loved the
program! We will be working towards our
next goal when we return from Christmas Break.
*We
took the SRI (Scholastic Reading Inventory) on Wednesday. This is a computerized test that assesses
your child’s reading comprehension. A
second grader should fall in the range of 300 – 600. I sent your child’s score home on
Thursday. I was very proud of the growth
the class has made this school year.
*Thank
you to those of you that sent in a copy of How
the Grinch Stole Christmas. I returned
the book to the owners today so your child should have brought his/her copy
home if they brought one to school. Because
second grade won the penny war, the grade level received a snack while watching
the movie How the Grinch Stole Christmas
on Thursday.
*The
next PTSG meeting will take place on Thursday, January 9th at 6:30
p.m. in our cafeteria. Mark your
calendar!
*Our
next All Pro Dad’s event will take place on Friday, January 10th. Please see the attached flyer for more
information about the program.
*PTSG
is hosting Family Game Night on Friday, January 10th at 7:00 p.m.
*Our
second nine weeks has ended! Report
cards will be issued on Friday, January 10th.
*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!
