December 19th
Good Morning and Thank you all for your attendance at our concert.  The children worked with much spirit for the presentation.

I have asked my Christmas elves (angels) to complete a secret job for me.  Here it is:  I have a little package I asked them to place under the tree from me to you.  I hope you will allow them the chance to do the job for me.  It will be a reminder of just how angelic your children are to me (I will also keep one of these for myself).

Let me take this opportunity to wish you and your families a Very Merry Christmas!

I also want to thank you for your continued support and generous wishes for my family.

My best present arrives today "Hennie Mars" my grand baby will be staying with my throughout the holiday.

Love, 

Judy Manning

The students have earned Red and Green Day back.  We worked to gain 15 tickets to allow us the joy of the  Red and Green Day experience.  They are proud and have, as always, surpassed the goal. So we will celebrate their goodness on Friday, December 19th, with a Slipper party (a little blanket, slippers, a stuffed animal and a robe may be brought in).

I wish our room was equipped with a video machine because yesterday the sight of these children wrapping presents - PRICELESS!!  You as parents also should be extremely proud.  Your love and example shines within these babies every day.

Thank you for all your continued support and enjoy this exciting pre-holiday time.

Reminder*****Friday, December 5th is our game day.  The children may bring in a board game if they wish.

As we are getting ready to celebrate Thanksgiving, we have created a feather of Thanksgiving for our Turkey.  Also we made paper plate girl and boy pilgrims, and we could not forget our Indian pals.

We will be preparing for our Thanksgiving Prayer Service scheduled for Tuesday, November 25th, at 2:00 PM.

WISHING ALL MY SECOND GRADE FAMILY A VERY SPECIAL THANKSGIVING DAY.

November 5th

As Thanksgiving approaches, it is a special time to be thankful for the many blessings in our lives.  At home, please discuss with your child all the gifts he/she has to be thankful for, such as a loving family, a comfortable home, playful pets, good friends, etc.

Then in school, your child will be decorating a feather for our turkey.  I will provide a feather for each child (about 12 inches long and 4 inches wide) and magazines, feathers, glitter to decorate their feather.  They will need to have at least five things to display on the feathers.  The feathers will be used as an assessment for Religion.

We will be discussing our blessings this week and begin our feather on Friday for art.  

Thanks for all your support.

Happy November!  I appreciated your support during our conferences.  It is easy to see why my children are so sweet.  My many blessings are great.

Our players of the day so far this week are Nicholas Pomeroy and Declan Cashman.  We thank all our math magicians for helping us rank 7th in the school.  Tomorrow we are excited to go to the Science Lab with our sixth grade friends.  We will test our hypothesis. This will be tested to show if food coloring spreads faster in cold water or warm water.
