Hi Everyone!  It sure has been a busy few weeks and I have a lot to report on today!  So here goes!

First, HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY to all!!  Monday will be our party from 1:00 – 2:00.  Most students have brought in their valentines to pass out to each other.  If you haven’t, that’s ok!  Just bring them in Monday morning!  AND we have a PIZZA PARTY that day!!  So don’t worry about packing a lunch for your second grader!

Also, February 17, will be the last day to contribute to our classroom basket raffle for conferences!  Our theme is “Dog Lovers“.  Thank you to the parents who have made contributions already!  You are so gracious!  All money made goes back into our classrooms and we teachers REALLY appreciate it!

Parents just a reminder to send a nutritious snack with your growing second grader.  Lately, we have had many students who tell me they have forgotten to put a snack in their bag.  The office does have snacks for emergency purposes; the occasional student who forgets.  But lately I have had students who forget their snack every day and then want to go down to the office.  So please encourage your second grader to pack their own snack the night before and that way no one forgets in the rush of the morning!

An email was sent out this week to let you know about our conference schedule coming up for February 28, March 1 & 2.  If you did not receive the email or could not open the document (sorry I forgot to make it a PDF!), please email me and let me know and I can send you the time and date.  We are using the same day/time from fall conferences.

Last of all, there is a Math Information Night for Parents being held this coming week on Feb. 17 from 7:00 – 8:00 in the High School Auditorium.  This is on our new Math Expressions math program.  It will explain the program and offer you some practical resources to assist your child.

Ok!  Phew!  That’s all for now!  Have a great weekend and I’ll see most of you on Monday at the party!

Love – Mrs. Q  🙂
