Important Announcements:
*Happy Spring Break! It has been a long winter (and I am not
convinced it is not over yet), but we made it to spring break! I pray whatever your plans are that you are
able to relax and enjoy! I will be in
town over the break and am looking forward to starting on some projects around
my house.
*I have decided to extend the
reading competition until the end of April.
I REALLY want to eat pizza with your child! Spring Break would be a great time to read
some books. Encourage your child to
continue to read and take Reading Counts tests while at school!
*Report cards will be
available online starting today.
*Second grade will be
practicing philanthropy by having a penny war the week we return from spring
break. The object is to have the highest
amount of points by the end of the week.
The classroom with the highest points will receive a special treat. Our class will earn points by donating
pennies to our class bucket. We will
have points subtracted if other classrooms donate silver coins and dollar bills
in our class bucket. The money that
second grade raises will be donated to Delaware Trail’s Relay for Life
team.
*Smile! Spring pictures will be taken on April 16th.
*Our next school-wide goal
for behavior tickets is 25,000.
*This year's Relay for Life
will be Saturday, May 17th - Sunday, May 18th from 9:30am-9:30am on the Town
Hall Green. I will be doing Relay for
Life this year in honor of all of my family members that have fought cancer,
but especially in memory of my father that lost his battle to pancreatic cancer
in January of 2012. This is a family
friendly event so join our team! It's
going to be a lot of fun and we hope you will join in to make a huge
difference! You can join our team by

*A
field trip is in the works for second grade.
I will have more details as they become available.
*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!
