Important Announcements:
*This week we welcomed a new student to our class. Welcome, Calab!
*Congratulations to Isaac!
Isaac is the first child to fill up his reading chart two times! He has earned an invite to a pizza party with
me, and he is still reading away! Keep
up the good work, Isaac! I would love to
have more kids come to the pizza party so encourage your child to keep on
reading those books and taking reading counts quizzes during stations!
*Today I am sending home information about the second grade
penny war to raise money for Kids against Hunger. This organization is a valuable organization that
benefits families all around the world and even right here in the United
States. Did you know that it just takes
$0.25 to make one of the packs of food?
One of those packs will feed six people!
Next week second grade is having a penny war in order to raise money to
purchase the supplies necessary to host a food pack. We are having a friendly competition with the
class that has the most points getting a special treat, but we do not want to
lose sight of why we are doing this. We
want to help others! Last year our food
pack was sent to children and families in Haiti. We will know closer to time what part of the
world will benefit from our generosity.
The food pack is scheduled to take place on Friday, March 21st. I will need parent volunteers for our food
pack so let me know if you are interested!
*Our next All-Pro Dad’s event will take place on Friday,
March 7th at 7:45 a.m. Check
out the attached flyer for more information.
*Spring Fling will take place on Friday, March 7th. The Spring Fling will also take donations of:
bags of candy, 2-liters of soda, and baked goods. The Spring Fling also needs volunteers! If you would like to volunteer, you can
contact Krista Tschaenn at kristatschaenn@gmail.com.
*Our next school-wide goal
for behavior tickets is 25,000.
*Track
and Field has been moved to Friday, May 30th. Mark your calendar!
*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
