Tomorrow, Book Orders and Reading Calendars, Book Reports and Upcoming Parent-Teacher Conferences

It has been a long Winter and hopefully, Spring is truly around the corner. Even so, please make sure to always send your child to school with a coat or jacket. There are still some days where it will be a bit chilly outside when the wind is blowing. Thanks for your help with this.

{Read-A-Thon} 

This has been a great Literacy Week at school as we've celebrated Dr.Seuss and his books. Tomorrow morning for 30 minutes the whole school will be dropping everything and reading. It would be helpful if you'd help your child pick out 2-3 books to bring to school tomorrow for the Read-A-Thon. If your child is reading chapter books, sending one would be a great thing! We've had fun learning new things this week about Dr.Seuss and his books. Did you know that he wrote 50 books? In 2015 a new Dr. Seuss book was published. The manuscript was found in his things and had been written before he passed away in 1991.

 Also, tomorrow is crazy hair day and wear Eastlake Spirit wear or black and red clothing. Oh, and we still have homework due, and spelling test at the beginning of our day.

 {Book Orders Due Friday, March 3rd}

 Just a quick reminder that book orders are due tomorrow. You can either send in the order form to me at school with a check, or you can order online at scholastic.com with our class code HLCVM.This will probably be the last book order before Easter and our next off-track time, so if you wanted to order some books for Easter, now's your chance. 

{February Reading Calendars 

and Book Reports} 

Please remember to turn in the February Book Reports and February reading calendars. You can still turn them in until next Monday for your child to receive the reading award and incentive if they met the month's reading goal. Remember that the school goal is for children in 2nd grade to read 20 minutes each day.

{Heads Up}  

D track's Parent-Teacher Conferences will be on 

March 22nd and 23rd. More information will be coming home soon about how to schedule your appointment to come and visit with me about your child and their progress and success in 2nd grade! 

Polar Express Party Volunteers, Gift Exchange and Sing Along

 

Hi Parents,

We are still in need of about 5 more parents to help run the Polar Express Christmas Party. We need two parents at each station. Here is the sign-up link:HERE

 

The party will be next Wednesday, Dec.21st from 9:00-11:00. The party may actually only go until 10:30. Each child needs to bring a small, wrapped gift for either a boy or girl ($5.00 limit) for a gift exchange at the end of the party.

The kids will be able to wear their pajamas/bathrobe/slippers that day and also bring a blanket, a pillow, a stuffed animal and treats to eat while we watch The Polar Express Movie in the afternoon.

Sing Along Preview

You should have received a note today inviting you to the Sing Along Preview next Thursday afternoon starting at 2:00 in the Gym. 2nd Grade will be the second group performing that day, so make sure you are there early and not late or you will miss us singing. The kids have been working so hard to learn their songs, so plan on being there to support your child.


There will be no spelling next week, but Take Home Reading Books will still be exchanged out on Tuesday and Thursday.

Parent-Teacher Conferences, Book Orders and Reading

This week is Parent Teacher Conferences. Please make sure to bring your child with you. This is our chance to celebrate your child and their success so far in 2nd grade. We can also help your child set new goals for the next nine weeks. If you can't remember your conference time, please send me an email and I will send it to you.I can't wait to meet with you and your child! Please be on time since we only get 15 minutes to talk about so much! 

Book Orders 

I wanted to remind you that the BIG Christmas Book Order is due tomorrow! Remember that you can order books online and our class will receive free books for our class library. If you want to keep the books a secret, please send me an email and I will keep them in my closet to hand them off to you secretly without your child knowing. 

Books are such great presents and you can get some really great deals from buying them online or through the book order. If you order them online, please remember to use our class code is HLCVM at https://clubs.scholastic.com/

Monthly Home Reading

It's almost time to send back the November reading calendar. Make sure that your child's name is on the November sheet and filled out with all of the days when your child read. It's so important that your child reads 20 minutes every day.

The December reading calendar will be sent home tomorrow in the homework folder. Thanks so much for your support in helping your child become a better reader!

 

Christmas Party Coming Soon

More details will be heading your way soon! Yay!!
