Important Announcements:
*Congratulations to
Braeden! Braeden leveled up on the Super
Improver Wall in the classroom. In order
to level up, a child has to earn ten stickers for showing improvement
academically and behaviorally. Way to
go, Braeden!
*We celebrated the 100th
day of school this week by taking pictures of ourselves and using an app to age
us. We then wrote about our first 100
years. The pictures came up on
Wednesday. If you did not see the
picture of your aged child, and would like to, e-mail me, and I will send it to
you! The students looked so cute!
*I sent home book orders with
your child today. If you would like to
purchase books for your child, you may order online using the code: GVCWL. If
you want to write a check, you can send the order form in with your child and
turn it into me. All orders are due
TODAY. If you are placing an online
order, please do so by midnight tonight so I can submit the orders over the
weekend. Thanks!
*A note from Mrs. Hopkins:
Why do Jump/Hoops for Heart?
-Heart disease is the number
1 killer.
-We are increasing the
child's knowledge about his/her heart and how to take care of it.
-Our children are developing
significant health issues, and on the average, American children spend
nearly 4
hours watching television a day.
-To honor those in the
community who have been affected by heart and stroke issues.
-The American Heart
Association advocates for physical education and wellness in schools, provides
CPR classes in middle and high school, created teaching gardens across the
country, has teamed up with NFL Play 60 program which we are a part of, and is
second to the federal government for pediatric cardiac research funding.
If you can, please help us
make a small dent to promote a healthy lifestyle! Hoops for Heart money will be due on
Thursday, January 29th!
Thank you,
Mrs. Hopkins
*Second grade teachers have
set the deadline of all second graders having 100% mastery on addition math
facts by the end of January (NEXT
WEEK). After that, we will focus
our attention on subtraction math facts.
*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.
*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!
