2^nd Grade News

Valentine’s Day

To celebrate Valentine’s Day, 2^nd grade will be participating in a classroom activity rotation with kindergarten, 1^st, 3^rd, and 4^th grades on the afternoon of Tuesday, February 14^th. This will be similar to the classroom activity rotation we held at Halloween. The teachers (Mrs. Fondale, Mrs. Demeter, Mrs. Walters, Mrs. Reed and I) will plan Valentine’s Day related activities and each grade will rotate among the different classrooms stations in order to take part in each activity. For the final station each grade will be back in their own classroom to exchange Valentine’s with their classmates. Students may bring in Valentine’s cards to pass out and a box/bag in which to receive cards. This will be a simple exchange and not a full blown “party”. Students are not allowed to pass out candy, cookies, cupcakes, or any other edible treats, so please refrain from sending these items in. However, students may pass out non-edible treats (such as pencils, stickers, small party-favor type toys, etc.) as long as they have enough for each child. A class list is included on back.

Interims

Interims for the third nine weeks will be sent home this Fri., Feb. 10^th. Do not be concerned if your child does not bring home an interim report. Just as was done the past two quarters, reports are only being sent if there is an issue regarding academic performance or behavior that needs to be reported and/or addressed. However, please don’t hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or concerns of your own regarding your child’s progress.
