The class is anxious to see if Jordan needs glasses - and we know that Kylie will be the first to know! Happy Birthday to Kylie's mom - we won't say how old you are (but we ALL know!). Miranda lost her 2nd tooth in 10 days - in school! Nate told me yesterday that I should call him a 'Mr. Smarty Pants' because he's so smart! We began a new 'game' to end the day. One child stands in front of the room and says "I'm thinking of an animal that begins with the letter ___ " and the other children guess and the right guess means it's your turn. For some reason the kids love to say 'E' for elephant-seal. So needless to say there's a big turnover in turns! We'll change the game up a little as the year goes by.
Mrs. Mulutzie and I have discussed a harvest type trip for Oct/Nov. PK3 is going to Muzzerelli's Farm, K & 1 are going back to Duffields. We can keep the cost down if we only have 1 bus and not require all parents to attend but can follow us. Let me know your suggestions and what you think.
We've accomplished so much in such a short amount of time. Our new gym teacher, Kerry Lillia loves working with our class. They play nice together and love to learn new games/sport activities. Of course we already knew that! Ask your child why they are doing so well in 2nd grade (I tell them it's because they had a great 1st grade teacher - see what they say lol)
Monday night is back to school night. Come on out and check out the 2nd grade books - the math is amazing! You'll be glad to know that we only have 6 theme tests in reading in comparison to last year's 12! We'll talk a little about Penance & Communion too.
A great big thanks for all that you do at home! Your children are a wonderful reflection of your parenting skills.
