Happy Veteran's Day!

We have so many military famlies in our class and I wanted to give you all a great big thank you for your service! What a tremendous sacrifice you and your family give for our great Country.  THANK YOU!!! We honor you today.




Field Trip Information came home with your child Friday.  We are only allowed 2 parents per class.  The only fair way to do it, that I can think of, is to take the first two field trip forms and money that are in my mailbox Tuesday morning.  I so wish we could all go, but ASF is limited on their seats and they want to have as many as they can for students.  

We will have Nancy's Italian Ice this Tuesday.

We need coffee filters for a Thanksgiving craft this week.

Your child should have come home with a book from the library on the state they are doing their State Project on.  Remember the projects are due this Friday, November 16th.  Please follow the rubric that is on the sheet that came home.  This is how your child will receive their points for their project.  Mrs. Doherty said that Michael's was out of the shoe box size box when she went.  However, a few doors down from Michael's the shoe store was happy to share their boxes for free. 

This week is a review week and Benchmark testing in Reading.  We will not have a spelling test or a new whole group story to test on.  We will take our Benchmark test for Unit 2 in Reading.
Please check with your child on their marker supply at school.  We have several students that are without markers already.  I have suggested to the kids that they should take a Sharpie at home and write their initials on each marker.  We end up with many markers on our floor each day, and nobody claims them.  If the markers have intials on them we can get them back to the right owner easily. 

A great big thank you to Julia's mom for taking the class to lunch this past Friday.  It was such a nice treat to have a duty free lunch with the other 2nd grade teachers.  Thank you!!

Remember that we are collecting items for the Human Society as a school.  A green slip of paper came home with specific items they are asking for.  The kids can put the donations by the front office as they walk in the school.

Have a super week! Email me with any questions.
