Important Announcements:
*We had our Dog Jog today,
and the kids did a great job! Your child
received a Dog Jog t-shirt today. Make
sure to hold on to the shirt because we will be wearing them throughout the
year for certain events (like our field trip).
*Next week during social
studies, we will be studying fire safety.
Not all students are in social studies because of reading learning
lab. However, having a fire safety plan
is imperative for every household. With
this in mind, your child will have a homework assignment on Tuesday where you
will have to decide as a family on a fire safety plan. It will need to be completed and turned in on
Wednesday. There will be no math
assignment that evening so your child will just have to complete the fire safety
plan handout and a reading workbook page.
*Reminders for parent/teacher
conferences will be sent home next week.
I am looking forward to meeting with you and talking about your child’s
progress in second grade on either October 8th or October 9th.
*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
so if you need to see it again visit http://misswhisman.blogspot.com
