Today, the Litterbug came to visit 2nd grade! EEWW! We learned a lot last week about taking care of our earth when we read For the Love of Our Earth. We knew so much about it we were able to help the Litterbug and his team decide what to do with trash...throw it in a garbage can and bag it up so it doesn't litter our beautiful earth!!!

We love art day!!


We went to art today and discussed lines...here we are with Mrs. K.

Please buy a t-shirt for your child!! They are $6 - this is what they look like, except WILD will be written in zebra print. We'll wear these shirts on field trips and on special days. Each 2nd grade class will have its own color shirt. It'll make it so much easier to find my class when we're in a crowded place. The shirts are really cute and I'd love for everyone to have one!

$ and order forms due September 17th

I always tell my students about my dog, Win, so I thought I'd put a "family portrait" of our family so they could see. Win is just like a baby - not very cooperative!
This is the best shot we got, and he's not even looking at the camera!

September 2-5

This week, we'll be reading For the Love of Our Earth. Don't forget that school pictures are Wednesday, the 3rd. Our Grandparent's Day lunch will be held this Friday, the 5th. If your child has someone coming to eat with them, please fill out the lunch form that was sent home so our lunchroom will know approximately how many lunches to fix. This will aid in getting through the lunch line quicker on this busy, crowded day.
We had a school-wide Fun Friday last week, where we watched a movie and had popcorn! The students who had participated in every Fun Friday up until that point were invited to attend. We'll be starting our month of Fun Fridays over this week, so encourage your child to think before acting!!
We're still doing really good on our reading passages. I'm so excited to have such great support from my students' parents! You'll see the benefits of these passages as your child's DIBELs score continue to rise!
Thanks for all of your hard work!
Kelsey - I'm going to keep you as student of the week this week because I didn't get a chance to make sure you got to see yourself on our website! I'll make sure tomorrow at school that you get to see yourself on the Internet!
