Important Announcements:
*Welcome back! I hope you all had a fun-filled and restful
Fall Break! I was very excited to come
back and hear about all of the different things you all did!
*Next week we will be reading
a picture book called The Legend of the
Indian Paintbrush. This is not in
our reading book. Your child will not
have any reading homework next week. We
will take a
reading counts quiz over this book on the computer on Friday.
*We will not have any
spelling next week. Enjoy the week
off!
*All next week we will be having a
coin drive at Delaware Trail Elementary. Funds collected will
be used to purchase gifts, food, and household goods for families in need
within Brownsburg during the holiday season. We will be having a grade
level competition to see which grade can fill the most gallon milk jugs by Friday.
All next week, students may bring in coins to donate to their grade's total.
The winning grade level will get to wear pajamas and watch
a movie. Thanks so much for your support of this worthwhile cause!
*On Wednesday we took our
October Scholastic Reading Inventory.
Yesterday I sent home a reading list that Scholastic generated based on
your child’s score. I will be sending the
graphs home today. The way the report
looks has changed slightly since the last time I sent home your child’s
progress.
*Thank you to those of you
that came to our annual Chick-Fil-A dine to donate on Wednesday evening. It was a great success! Our school earned over $500 at this event!
*Brownsburg Community School
Corporation is hosting an EveryDay Math Night for second grade parents on
Wednesday, November 12th at White Lick Elementary from 6:30 – 7:30
p.m. This evening is designed to help
you have a greater understanding of math achievement and the math progression
in our corporation, ways to help your child with homework, and fun and easy
math games that you can play at home with your child. I think this evening will be incredibly
beneficial for you so mark your calendars and plan on attending!
*Continue to work on addition
and subtraction math facts. Make sure to
use those fact triangles that were sent home, or you can practice for free
online at www.xtramath.org. Let me know if
you need the log-in information sent home again.
*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 .
