February 26th

Hope everyone survived the storm.  Today we took the practice test for the Terra Nova Testing.  The children will not have homework next week.  We discussed that a good night's sleep and a nutrition rich breakfast would be beneficial.  Please send your child to school with at least four sharpened #2 pencils and erasers.  Because the testing is administered in the morning it is important that the children arrive on time.  The children may bring in a personal book to read and a small stuffed animal to be used as the finish.  The afternoons will be filled with fun educational activities.  We have a journal piece scheduled to entice the students to use their best writing skills and observation.  They will be writing to describe their favorite candy and then presenting the piece to the other second grade class.  Another writing piece will be connected to our story …Gloria..  In the story her and her friend constructed kites that possessed their personal wishes on the tail.  We hope to build our own wishing kites.
Thank you for all your continued support.
