Monday... the beginning of December!

Well, we are in the busy time now with these three weeks.  I have included a December calendar of events on the blog. I hope you find it helpful.

One of the events that you will be hearing about soon is our Holiday "party"/book swap.  This is something we traditionally do in second grade.  It will be held on Thursday afternoon, December 20 at 1:45. The snow date will be Friday, December 21 at the same time.  At this party, students will swap a book for another one.  Please begin to think about purchasing a book or donating a gently used one that is appropriate for a boy or a girl.  It should come to school by no later than December 17 wrapped.  Let me know if this is an issue for you as I have many books I could donate on your behalf.  We will also have a "party" where we enjoy each others' company as well as some holiday cheer.  I will let you know the food items that we need in order to make this happen.  Thank in advance for your help with this.

I am in need of anti bacterial wipes and plastic spoons again.  Thanks so much!

Today in 2F, we began with writing class.  I showed students how to begin the revision process with their drafts. They proceeded to do Weekend News. Later, we went to computer lab to work on a brainstorming activity using Kidspiration.  We will continue this project next week with Mrs. Pond.  In reading this morning, we learned a new song called Metacognition.  We also worked on work stations during guided reading time.  Word work involved a pretest on the December word wall words.  Those came home today for homework.

This afternoon, we got a chance to work with the artist in residence, Jeff Warner.  It was fun!  Then we practiced subtraction!
