Important Announcements:
*It
was great seeing all of you Monday evening at the music program. The children did such a great job! I would like to thank the children and Mrs.
Dziadosz for all of their hard work!
*Mr.
Marc Dahmer, meteorologist for the National Weather Service, came in on
Wednesday and presented information about weather to the children. They were great listeners and had some great
questions for him. I was very proud of
them!
*We
are going to have some special spirit days next week.
Monday
– Winter Wonderland (wear white)
Tuesday

Wednesday
– Wear Green / Riley Stuffed Animal Day $1.00.
Your child may bring a stuffed animal to school if he/she brings in
$1.00 donation to benefit Riley Children’s Hospital. The stuffed animal should be able to fit in
your child’s book bag.
Thursday - Let your holiday spirit shine (wear shiny, sparkly, or
dress up)

holiday shirt or hat
*We
are so excited! Second grade won the
change drive to benefit Brownsburg families.
Our second graders will receive a special treat next week. However, the real winners are the Brownsburg
families that will benefit from our generosity this holiday season.
*Next
week we will be taking the Scholastic Reading Inventory. We are scheduled to take it on Wednesday,
December 18th. This is the
computerized reading comprehension test that generates your child’s
lexile. A second grader should have a
lexile that falls in the range of 300 – 600.
I will be sending your child’s score home after we have taken the
test.
*We
will be reading Dr. Seuss’s How the
Grinch Stole Christmas next week. We
could use your help! If you have any
copies of the book at home that we could borrow next week, we would greatly
appreciate it if you would send them in.
Make sure your name is in the book so we can return it to the right
family! Thanks so much!
*We
will have spelling next week. The words
will be words from the story and are rhyming words. The words went home today on a green piece of
paper. The words are: tree, glee, who,
two, shove, dove, feast, beast, pinch, Grinch, flash, and hash.
*Our
annual Christmas Sing-a-long will take place on Friday, December 20th
at 2:30 p.m.!
*Our
second nine weeks is coming to an end quickly!
The end of the nine weeks is Friday, December 20th! 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!
