Our 2nd and 3rd grade Community Spirit Project is a food drive for the Montgomery Area Food Bank. We will begin collecting the food this Tuesday until Friday, February 1st. Your child brought home a lime green flier with the details of what to bring in. This is a great opportunity for us to teach the kids the importance of helping others. We have a box in our room so we will be able to see just how much our class alone is contributing. I hope our box overflows! A great big thank you to Mrs. Lancaster for heading this project up for 2nd and 3rd grade!
A great big thank you to Mrs. Fallesen and Mrs. Foley for taking the kids to lunch last week. Also a great big thank you to Mrs. Carney for staying with the kids while I attended the PTA meeting last week. I appreciate you all so much!
Thank you for all of the treasure box treats you have sent in! I was told that the box was getting a little low and boring. :) You have spruced it up for us, and turned up the competition even more for AR.
Please remember to send in field trip forms and money by this Wednesday, January 23rd for the play. We are reading the book now so we will be well prepared. The field trip will be February 21st.
Please check with your child on their school supplies. Your child should have at least one glue stick, markers, and crayons.
We had an accident with our new pencil sharpener last week. It was accidentally bumped off of the table and it no longer works. If you happen to have an extra pencil sharpener at your house that you don't need, we could put it to great use. We don't mind if it is electric or the old fashioned kind as long as we can sharpen our pencils.
We will have Nancy's Ice this Tuesday since we won't be at school Monday.
We will have our pre-test in Spelling this Tuesday. Your child has a new spelling test for Unit 4 in their binder. We are on Unit 4 Week 1.
Don't forget that we will be learning about the Presidents during the month of February. If I have any parents that would like to come and share with the kids your knowledge of one or more Presidents we would love to hear from you.
Also, if I have any parents that have any special quilts that are in your family that tell a story we would love for you to come in and share with us. We are reading a story about a special quilt this week in Reading.

In math we are working with 3 digit subtraction now. Please make sure you are practicing with your child so they are comfortable. They are doing great with 3 digit addition. I have a couple that are still forgetting to add the number they have carried so they need a little more practice at home.
We have been loving Balancing and Weighing in Science. I will get some pictures for next week so you can see all the fun we are having with this unit. I sure do have some Super Smart Scientist in my class!
Please email me with any questions or concerns. Have a super week!
