Secret Pal Gift Exchange

Our class is going to have a 'Secret Pal' Gift Exchange next week. Here is how it works. Each child selects a name out of a hat at class and provides a wrapped gift for that child at our class party. A girl picks a girl's name and a boy a boy's name.

The gift should be no more than $5 in cost. The dollar store always has some cute items. Your child should keep the surprise until they present the gift to their 'Secret Pal' during our party on the 15th.

During the next two weeks the children will be writing notes or coloring pictures to slip into their 'Secret Pals" cubby. They all work hard on being especially nice to their Secret Pals. This activity also teaches them the joy in giving to someone else at Christmas time.

Class Christmas Party

Our class Christmas Party will be held on Thursday, December 15th from 2:00 to 2:30. The student party helpers will be Trista, Austin, Paydon, Tanna, Sydney, Andee, and Salvador. A note will go home with these children tomorrow. The party food items may be brought to school the day of the party by your child, or you can drop off the items at school...whichever is most convenient for you.

If you have the time next Thursday, then feel free to come and join in the fun. Parents and grandparents are always welcome at our class parties.

A big 'Thank You' to all our party helpers!

Calling All Turkeys!!

Last week I sent home a turkey for you and your child to color and decorate. Some beautifully decorated turkeys have already been brought to school. It is so fun to see the many neat ways that these turkeys can be decorated.

The family turkey project is due November 10th. But please have your child bring in your turkey as soon as it is completed.

2nd Grade Music program is Next Thursday!

The second grade Music Program will be next Thursday, November 10th at 7:00 p.m. Students should arrive at our classroom by 6:45 at the latest. They will leave extra items or clothing with you, since you will connect with them in the hall near the multipurpose room after the performance.

The theme of the program is the garden, and students may dress in overalls, bandanas and other appropriate attire, but this is not required. This will be a wonderful experience for the children, as they share their songs with you.

I look forward to seeing you there.

Family Turkey Project!

Parents, today your child is bringing home a paper turkey. I would like you to decorate this turkey as a family project. Please return them to school when you finish decorating them. I would like the turkeys back by no later than November 10th. All turkeys will receive an award and will be displayed on our hall bulletin board.

Your turkey can be decorated in any way you would like. Be creative with anything you have around the house.....seeds, spices, tooth picks, fabric, paint, feathers, crayons, cotton balls, buttons, bows, noodles, cereal, small pieces of candy.... etc.

This is a second grade class project. When you come in during Conference Week in November you will see all the second grade turkeys displayed by their classrooms. Each year parents as well as staff members stop and remark about all the creative turkeys that are on display.

I hope you have fun working together with your child on your turkey!

Class Halloween Party

Our Class Halloween will be on Monday, October 31st from 1:45-2:30. Parents and grandparents are always welcome at our class parties. If you have the time, we would love to have you attend and join in the fun.

Our class helpers for the Halloween Party will be: Cash, Emily, Sam, Jasmine, Mason, Nik, Raelynn, and Mariana. These children have brought home a paper listing the food item that they are to bring to the party.

You can either send the food item to school with your child the day of the party of bring it to school by 1:45 on the day of the party. Whichever is most convenient for you. A big 'Thank You' to all those helping out with the Halloween Party!

If your child's name was not mentioned above, then they will get to have their turn at being a party helper at one of our other class parties.
