Important Announcements:
*We had our Dog Jog
convocation this afternoon. Information
regarding our school’s largest fundraiser went home today. Second grade will be participating in the Dog
Jog from 10:05 – 10:35. Our specials
schedule will also be changed that day.
We will go to specials from 1:10 – 1:40.
*Our spelling words next week
are contractions. The apostrophe is a
difficult key to navigate on keyboards.
This spelling list may be a good spelling list to practice at home using
www.spellingcity.com/awhisman. You can have your child practice taking the
test at home so he/she can get used to typing the apostrophe (without spaces
before or after it).
*Next week is College Go!
Week. This week is really all about
encouraging our students to think about college and how we prepare for college
with everything that we do at school now.
In honor of this, we will have spirit days every day next week.
The spirit days are:
Monday: Make Your Dreams Come
True - wear pajamas
Tuesday: Education is
"tied" to your Future - wear a tie
Wednesday: Lei Out Your
Future - Hawaiian day, students may purchase leis for $1.00 for Riley Children’s
Hospital
Thursday: Teamwork Pays Off -
wear your favorite college attire
Friday: Be Cool, Stay in
School - wear your Dog Jog t-shirt (your child will receive his/her t-shirt
next week)
*Continue to work on addition
and subtraction math facts. Make sure to
use those fact triangles that were sent home last week and today, or you can
practice for free online at www.xtramath.org. Let me know if you need the log-in
information sent home again.
*The Yankee Candle fundraiser
is due back by Monday, September 29th. Candles will be available for pick up on
November 11th from 12 – 4 p.m. and 6 – 8 p.m. and again on November
12th from 4 – 8 p.m. at Central Office Door #7. Proceeds from the candle sale benefits the
Brownsburg Education Foundation and the money raised go towards teacher and
school grants. I have benefited from
this program in years past by writing and receiving grants for my
classroom.
*If anyone is able to come in
and volunteer next week, send me an e-mail and let me know what day and time
works best for you! Thanks!
*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
