Second  Grade News

February 10-14

Here is a peek at what will be happening this week:

Monday, Feb 10:  Collection envelopes are due if your child raised money for the American Heart Association.

Monday, February 10 is Library Day:  We visit the library on Monday.  Please make sure all books are returned so that more may be checked out.

Thursday, February 13:  Jump Rope for Heart Day!  We will be jumping in the high school gym from 9:00-10:30.  Make sure your child wears tennis shoes and comfortable clothes for jumping.  Please send a water bottle (with water only) labeled with your child’s name.   We are encouraging the students to make this day all about hearts, so have your child wear a previous Jump Rope for Heart shirt, a red or pink shirt, a decorated shirt, or some other red or pink clothing item.

Thursday, February 13 is our Valentine’s Day Party:   
We will be having our class Valentine Party at 1:00 in the afternoon on Thursday, February 13.  For our party, I would like each child to bring in a Valentine for every member of our classroom.  The Valentines may be purchased or homemade.  I would like your child to address and sign all the Valentines by himself/herself (with your supervision).  This can be a big job, so you might want your child to start early and do a few each night.  This is the list of the children in our classroom:

Kaden                      Anthony                  Ryan             Trey              Savanna                  Trenton                    Makenzie      Avril
Avery                        Brecken                   Cole               Alaina          Hailey                       Zackery                   Tanner
Tyler                         Emerson                  Blayn                        Jesse                         Madalyn                  Ruby
Karsyn                     Kassie                      Chevy                                         
Tessa 10                  Tessa 26                    

(We have two students with the name of Tessa, and their last names also begin with the same letter.  As I am not allowed to publish last names, we use their mailbox numbers to keep their papers going to the right person.  The students in my room know this system, so please put the mailbox numbers on the Valentines  for these two children. This way all Valentines will be sorted and given to the right person.)

100’s Day:  We will be celebrating the 100th day of school on Wednesday, February 19.  As part of the celebration I would like each student to bring in a collection of 100 items to put on display for other classrooms.  Try to make the collection from items you have around the house.  Possible ideas would be 100 marbles, rubber bands, hair ribbons, cotton balls, pennies, hearts, tiny toys, baseball cards, etc.  Just help your child use his/her imagination and have fun putting together this collection.  We also celebrate with a class trail mix.  Please have your child bring in one cup of an item to add to this mix.  Thanks so much!
