It was another good week in second grade. Here is what you need to know about the upcoming weeks in February.

Leila and Victoria reading together under the stars.

President's Day Break:

Just a reminder about the break coming up. We will not have school on Friday, February 17th and Monday, February 20th. 

Homework Reminders:

- Green Take Home Journals came home today. Take a look at the last entry. 

"What sport would you play in the Olympics?" OR "What sport would you like to watch in the Olympics?" (DUE Mon)
- We will not be doing spelling next week.
- New math homework and purple reading slips will be coming home.

Book Orders:
Book Orders will be due on Monday, Feb. 13. There are some great books at reasonable prices! Thank you for ordering. Your orders have allowed me to add more books to our classroom library.

Valentine's Day Party:
We are going to celebrate Valentine's Day with a small party on Tuesday Feb. 14. A class list was sent home. Please make sure that if your child is bringing Valentine's that they bring a card for each student in the class OR for students of the same gender.

We went camping on Wednesday!

Box Top Challenge: 
Make sure you keep collecting those Box Tops and send them to school with your child. There is a bag in the hallway for our Box Tops. The final day will be on Feb. 16th (Thurs).

Reading Blizzard:

The 2nd graders love to celebrate reading! One way that we will do that this year is by having a "READING BLIZZARD" during the school day on Wednesday, February 22. The students will come to school in their pajamas, and they may also bring a pillow and a stuffed animal. We will spend a large part of the day silent reading, hearing stories from special guests, enjoying pizza together, and doing a variety of other fun things! 

Supplies Needed:
Parents, the kids are running out of Expo/Dry Erase markers and Bleach Wipes. If you can add that to your shopping list at Meijer, that would be greatly appreciated. 

They even got their own flashlights!

Thank you!
