A Weekly Newsletter for Students and Parents

 

 

 

 

February 6, 2012

          We had a wonderful 100th Day of School last Monday!  The students were adorable dressing as 100 years old and we had a wonderful time measuring with 100!  Also, thank you for sending 100 coins for Arkansas Children’s Hospital.   Together in second grade, we collected $500.00 for a great cause! 

          Our story for the week is The Signmaker’s Assistant and you can read it at home by logging on to www-k6.thinkcentral.com.  The username is the student’s first initial and last name (no spaces or periods) and their password is their lunch number.  We will be working on using commas in dates and places in writing this week.

          This week, the students will be out Friday, February 10th, for Parent Conference Day.  The students will also be out Monday, February 13th, for a Professional Development Day for teachers.  Tuesday, February 14th, is Valentine’s Day and we will be having a party Tuesday afternoon.  Please send Valentines for every student in the class that Tuesday.  There are 24 children in our class.  I will send home a class list with everyone’s names, but you do not have to write a name on the Valentines.

          If you have pictures from the Father/Daughter Dance, please send them so we can see!  You can email or send printed pictures!
