Week 19
Dear Parents,
We had another wonderful week of learning. Two step math problems are challenging for second graders, yet your children rose to the occasion and powered through. Thank you for helping your children get corrections to missed problems done at home when they did not finish them at school. Your partnership with me helps your children succeed! We had fun experimenting with our mittens using snap blocks, 1 inch tiles and a chocolate kiss. Make sure you ask your child how it went. We will begin sharing our biography reports this week as all have been completed! I can’t wait to see all their hard work! We completed our unit on rocks and took our assessment Friday . We learned the importance of Martin Luther King Day and why it is a national holiday.
We are going to be sharing a couple Flat Stanley adventures each day next week. If your child’s Flat Stanley did not return via e-mail or postal service, I had him/her write Flat Stanley on his/her behavior chart. Please contact the people who had your child’s Flat Stanley and have them return him as soon as possible via e-mail or postal service. (I also found a letter from a Macie who had a Flat Stanley visiting her house in our classroom. None of our class seems to recognize this letter. If your child sent Flat Stanley to Macie, please let me know.) There are still 6 Stanleys missing in action!

Week 18
Dear Parents,
We have finished our second nine weeks of school! Report Cards will be available in Skyward on Friday Jan. 23rd. We finished our Famous American reports! We have a class full of great researchers! We learned so many interesting things about different famous Americans. We also learned about Martin Luther King, Jr. as a class. We were amazed by the many contributions he made to our country. Next week we will be gearing up for our Boosterthon Fun Run! It is a great way to make money and support our school. This year’s theme is Rockin Town Live. I hope you have a nice long weekend with your family!

Week 17
Dear Parents,
It’s been a great week back to school even with the cold weather! Your children have come back rested and ready to learn! We have been focusing on research in both reading and writing this week. We have learned how to distinguish important information and interesting details. We have also learned the steps to paraphrasing what we read and adding our own ideas to the information. Your child has chosen a famous American to research and has checked out a book at the library, if it was possible. We have been using an on-line source called facts 4 me which also has good information about our famous Americans. We have continued adding two digit numbers with regrouping in Math, but now are adding four numbers at a time!We have wrapped up our Unit on Motion. Check out the picture of our roller coaster on our Blog!
Next week is the last week in our nine week grading period. Report Cards will be available in Skyward on Friday Jan. 23rd.
Parents! We’re excited to host the 9-day Boosterthon Fun Run as this year’s fundraiser. We kick off the fun, healthy, and character-building program on 1-20-15. Plus, students will be learning five ways to make their community rock with Boosterthon’s character theme Rock’n Town Live, a music festival theme all about community. Along the way, students will gather pledges for how many laps they’ll run at the Boosterthon Fun Run event, which is on 1-29-15. Your family is invited to come out and cheer on your student! Please help our school by connecting your student with sponsors. Thank you for your support!
