Greetings,
     We had a very nice turn out for Open House tonight. Our doors will also be open on Thursday night from 4:00 - 6:00 p.m. You are invited to come see what we have been up to. Our class photo and spring pictures went really well today. You will have an opportunity to purchase individual spring pictures in a few weeks.


     On March 7th students are invited to dress up as their favorite character in a book. We will be doing some fun Dr. Seuss activities on March 6th and 7th.


     We had a lot of fun doing our presidential research papers. Students spent a lot of time using different resources to gather facts and then they put those facts into an informational paper. When we finished the papers, students made a facejack video presentation about their president.


     We will be having our 2nd grade Spring Concert on March 28th. We are still in need of a few kitchen appliances for our performance. We could use some wooden spoons, large pots and pans. Any donated items would be appreciated. Please send them to school anytime next week. We will return the items to you when we are finished using them.


     Our 2nd grade field trip will be on April 20th. We will be going to Smallin Cave. More information on the exact details will come out after Spring Break.

Greetings,
     We have many exciting things coming our way over the next few months. This week we have been learning about rocks and their properties. We have also learned about fractions and measuring with meters and yards. Students have been creating books and doing research on their favorite president.


Weather Reminder
Per district policy we will go outside when the temperature is at 25 degrees or warmer. Please be sure to send your child in appropriate clothing.


Valentine's Day
We will have our Valentine's Day Party on February 14th. Students may bring cards to exchange with their classmates. A class list was posted on Seesaw and a paper copy was sent home earlier in the week. The PTA will be providing a special treat for students. Students are welcome to create a Valentine's Day box at home. If a student needs supplies to make one, I can send some things home with them to use.


Parent Teacher Conferences
Conferences will be available to parents on February 27th, 28th, and March 1st. These conferences are optional and will be set up at your request. I will contact parents individually If I feel I need to meet with you as well. Please contact me as soon as possible if you would like to conference. We will have an Open House on March 2nd. You will be invited to drop by to visit the classroom and look at some of our work. Feel free to drop by anytime between 4:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m.
