Winter weather is here! Please be sure to send your child to school in the appropriate snow gear every day. We will be having recess outside if the weather is around 15 degrees or warmer. Please send boots, snow pants, hats and gloves everyday. I recommend getting a large ziploc bag (2 feet XLarge) for their winter gear so it fits in the locker and is easier to transport to and from school. Please empty the bag each night and hang the snow gear up so it can dry out. We don't want to have them coming back to school in cold, wet gear every day.
Second Grade Music Concert is Thursday, January 26. The concert begins at 6:00 pm. Mr. Steuer would like all students performing to be here at 5:45. Students can report to their classrooms. Parents can go into the gym. Immediately following the concert, the second grade teachers will be offering a Family Literacy Night. Ms. Salas and I will be offering a 30 minute literacy activity that you may wish to attend. Ms. Salas will be hosting an activity in Spanish, and I will be hosting an activity in English. Ms. Accomando will be making bookmarks with some families. This is not a conference or a time to discuss your child individually, but a chance to have some fun while integrating literacy.
Penguins- We finished our whale study. Now we are learning about penguins.This unit will go on for 2 weeks. We will not have a spelling or vocab list for next week either since this week will flow into next week. I loved hearing about everything your child taught you about whales. I'm glad we have some whale experts now! They are coming home today to see what you already know about penguins. Hopefully they will have a lot to teach you at the end of this unit also. Thank you to those of you who made comments on our blog or wrote me love notes sharing what you learned. I love when the children share their joy of what they learned.
Mrs. Montes
