THE CATERPILLARS ARE HERE!

Get Ready Parents! You are going to learn more about the life cycle of a butterfly than you ever thought you needed to know! We are so excited! Each child has a caterpillar in a special protected cup on their desk.  The excitement in room 124 was just too much!


Your child is going to bring home a permission slip to Lanark Monday.  Please have the slip along with the money returned by Friday.  A few of you paid for the final activities in 2nd grade all at once.  All parents are welcome to attend.  The office does need a background check if you haven't completed one this year.  Just let me know if you need a form.


Remember that we will have our last graded, timed math drill this week.  Once we finish that, we will focus on our multiplication facts.  Please start working on these at home with your child.  It will give your child a head start for 3rd grade.


I was amazed at the creativity your child showed with the Recycling Projects! We had the best time presenting the projects and hearing about the clever thinking that was involved in the process.  I am surrounded by greatness in Room 124!


Your child brought home a yellow paper explaining our Community Spirit project for 2nd and 3rd grade.  We will be collecting items for the Human Society all this week.  The items needed are specified on the sheet that came home Friday.
