Into October

Dear Families,

     Thank you so much for taking the time out of your busy schedules to meet with me for the student goal-setting conferences.  I really enjoyed having the time to speak with you and your students about their hopes and goals for the year.
     This week 2nd grade will begin rehearsals for our fables play.  We will be putting on a performance of Why Mosquitoes Buzz in People's Ears.  We are planning to be ready to perform during the week before Thanksgiving break.  I will be sending home a formal invitation to all families as the date comes closer.  As part of the play your students will be making paper mache masks.  I am hoping that parents can bring in newspaper this week to help with the project.  We will begin covering the balloons on Tuesday.
     In math we are moving from addition onto subtraction.  Basic knowledge of addition & subtraction facts are such important building blocks for your student.  It is critical that your student have a quick recall of their addition & subtraction facts in order for them to feel confident as we move on to borrowing, regrouping, and even into multiplication and division.
     Upcoming Events:
      - School photos will be next Wednesday from 8:30-9:00am.  Please try to be time that day!
      - This Thursday will be the celebration for October birthdays.  We will have the celebration during the last half hour of the school day.  Luci Duncan is making arrangements.  Please contact her if you would like to bring anything for the celebration
      - Friday, October 29th will be our Halloween celebration.  If you would like to help with the party please sign up on the sheet outside of the classroom or talk to Kim Carpenter.
 Posted below are photos from our field trip to the park.  The students had such a great time!
