10/5/09 - Parent teacher conferences are coming up.  Be sure to sign up 
online.  For these conferences we ask that parents sign up for their homeroom 
teacher only.  If you would like to meet with Mrs. Young, regarding math or 
social studies, please contact her to set up another time.  Thank you for 
understanding.

10/2/09  - Thanks to our Channel 7 connection here at PRA Theresa Marchetta 
helped us coordinate a special guest speaker.  
 
Meteorologist Richard Ortner spoke to your children today about the weather 
to go along with the unit I am teaching on clouds and the water cycle. Be 
sure to ask your child they learned today. Mr.  
Ortner shared many interesting facts and safety tips for different weather 
conditions. 
 
In addition to this visit, he took a video of the students that have 
permission to be in the media. Look for your child on channel 7, tomorrow 
morning at 8 am and in the evening at 5 pm.

9/8/09 - Mark your calendars for WESTWARD EXPANSION DAY- Thursday Sept 17th.

SPOW - Special Panther of the week - 	In second grade we celebrate 
each student as the Special Panther of the Week (SPOW) sometime during the 
year. See attached list for exact dates. 
-	The SPOW will bring home a small bulletin board the Friday before 
their special week which may be decorated with pictures of the student (Mrs. 
Young especially likes baby pictures of the student and pictures of the 
student¡¦s family), awards, interests and whatever else the student may wish 
to share with the class.  
-	We usually share the board on Tuesdays of the student¡¦s SPOW week.  
The SPOW may also bring in a pet to share.  If it is a small furless pet in 
a cage or container, it may stay all day.  Larger or furry pets will be 
shared outside, hopefully during recess (9:25 or 12:15¡Xthere are less 
people 
out in am).  Arrangements need to be made ahead of time with Mrs. Young.
-	The SPOW will get to sit in the SPOW chair all week during DEAR and 
other reading times.
-	When students with summer birthdays have their SPOW week, we will 
also celebrate their birthday during that week, you may choose a day that 
week that is convenient for you if you want to bring a treat¡Xjust let me 
know. 
-	If your student¡¦s birthday is on a school day, we will celebrate 
that day.  If it is on a weekend or holiday, we will celebrate whichever day 
is closer or more convenient for you. 
-	Students may bring in a birthday treat to share with the class on 
their birthday or assigned celebration day.  Please send napkins and plates 
if needed.  We will eat the birthday treat after specials (2:25) in the 
afternoon (outside as long as the weather is good) after we celebrate.
