 Those who are attending take your child to work day Enjoy your time:)  I will have the homework and any additional information you need when you return. I was so impressed and happy to hear all of the second grade international day presentations!  We learned so much about different countries, tasted yummy foods and even heard traditional music. Thank you to parents for all of your help making international day great:) **** Children can wear a outfit of native dress to their country that they are presenting tomorrow.  If they do not have native dress they can wear a tshirt or sweatshirt representing that country.  The children can of course choose to just wear their uniform *  Second grade did an awesome job collecting for the pantry!  We came in first place!  The school raised over 6,000 cans for the poor.  Great job to all the second graders, we are a great team! * International day projects are due on Wednesday 18th *See note on more details regarding international day. --------------------------------------------------------------------

Bake sale tomorrow 3/15- second grade bakes! *Don't Forget Jesus Day is coming soon!  Mark your calendars for March 18th 2-6.  The children will make banners for communion, learn a special song and attend mass as a group. Parents are invited to join their children at 5:00 mass.   The children don't need any supplies for the fun filled day but please make sure your child is on time so they can complete all of the activites, relating to first holy communion.  Dismissal is directly after 5:00 mass. *This year on valentines day your child can wear red tag day clothes if they bring in a canned good item or contribute a dollar for the pantry. 2nd Grade Valentine's Day party is at 12:30.  Reminder--- If your child is making valentines please make sure there is one for each child.  Your child should sign it themselves and it isn't required for the students to address the cards, it is your choice.  There are 19 children in the class, please email me if you have questions. *2/13- Reconciliation First Reconciliation is at 10:00!  Parents are welcome to come support their children during this special sacrament in the church.

Although this is a difficult assignment I believe the children are excited and proud of their work.  If you have any questions about their writings or work thus far please feel free to contact me for more information on the topic.  This is our biggest project this year and I'm excited to finish this unit exhibiting all of the student's orginal stories.  2/8 There is a change in the spelling homework schedule.  The children's weekly spelling homework pattern is as follows: Monday: Workbook page Tuesday: Write each spelling word 5 times Wednesday & Thursday:  Complete 15 detailed sentences using the spelling words.  The children have two days to complete the 15 spelling sentences.  Friday- Test Day The children have drafted their own fairy tale stories as a conclusion to our fairy tale unit.  The children will have a opportunity to bring the drafts home to add more details, check for spelling and edit their paragraphs.  Remember these are rough drafts that the children will be working on in class as well.  Reconciliation is Febuary 13th at 10:00!
