Wednesday @ BC...

...is going to be very busy! We're heading to City Hall @ 9. We'll return in time to eat lunch and begin our Christmas party (12:30-1:15)!

Thursday...we're getting ready for 2nd semester. We'll be watching a movie (Prancer) and cleaning up our classroom to prepare for January 7th!

During the holiday break...your homework is to READ, READ, READ!! Read books, read the newspaper, read the cereal box or a recipe, read our blog. I'm sending home a few old passages, also...it's very important to continue reading over the break...
2nd graders are expected to read 90 words per minute during the 2nd semester of 2nd grade! Not to mention, reading is a REALLY FUN way to learn while we're out of school for a couple of week.

December 15-18

We have a very busy week ahead...We'll be reading Out and About at City Hall, which leads us on a quick little field trip Wednesday morning - we're going to visit the mayor of Decatur @ City Hall (as long as the buses and the weather cooperate)!! After lunch Wednesday, we'll be having our Christmas party (12:30-1:15). Thursday, we're watching Prancer and going to art!! Friday, YOU GET TO SLEEP LATE!!!
We will work with our spelling and vocabulary at school, but we will not have tests on them this week. We will have a passage to read nightly!!

Merry Christmas!!

Merry Christmas

We will be having a Christmas party from 12:30-1:15 on Wednesday, the 17th. I sent home a note to see if anyone was willing to send anything to the party. Just let me know by tomorrow or Monday so I'll know what else we need. Thanks!

Winter Wonderland

IT'S SNOWING (at my house)!!! This is not a real picture of what it looks like, but the ground and the trees really are covered! Will we be snowed in tomorrow?!?!

I apologize for not blogging much recently - my camera WILL NOT work at all now, so I can't take any pictures. I promise I've begged Santa for a new one, so hopefully he'll deliver! Just wanted you to know I haven't forgotten, or even gotten too busy...
