Important Announcements:
*Ainsley celebrated her
birthday on Tuesday, April 8th.
Happy Birthday, Ainsley!
*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!
*There will be NO spelling or
reading homework next week! Next week
would be a great week to spend time reading books for reading counts
quizzes!
*For our poetry unit, your
child will need to bring in a picture of something he/she loves. It can be a picture of your family, a family
pet, a favorite animal, favorite food, etc.
Your child will need to put his/her name on the back of the picture so
that it can be returned. Pictures should
be brought in by Thursday, April 17th! Thanks!
*At this point in the year,
your child should have mastery of all of his/her addition math and subtraction
math facts. Mastery would be 100% on the
five minute weekly time test. Practice
those math facts! In third grade your
child will be expected to have mastery of multiplication and division facts. I have already introduced multiplication and
division to your child, and we will be working more on multiplication and
division facts in upcoming chapters.
*Thank you SO MUCH to all of
you that participated in our penny war this week! I know the students enjoyed participating in
the war and all of the money will be donated to Relay for Life. I will announce a total that second grade
raised soon!
*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!
