This month is a very exciting time for our students as we prepare for that special time of valentines and treats! Our homeroom will be having a Valentine’s Day party on February 12th. In the upcoming week, we will make our special bag to hold all our special valentines and treats and I am sure your students will tell you about their decorations! With having the party in our homerooms, I ask that if your son/or daughter would like to give out valentines that they provide a valentine for each of the students in my homeroom so that everyone can be involved in receiving a valentine! During our party, we will be playing some Valentine’s Day games to celebrate the holiday! You can email me for the names of the students, but they are listed on the monthly paper copy of the newsletter sent home with your son or daughter.
In addition to preparing for our Valentine’s Day celebration, we are learning and growing a lot in second grade! We have developed a VERY large map of our “Summer Dreaming” community. In this map, we discussed map keys and what a map looks like from a 3-D and 2-D view. I will be taking a picture of the community all assembled so that you can view our amazing masterpiece of a community!
Please continue to read with your child 20 minutes a night and practice math fluency facts because I am noticing the growth in both of my classes! In addition, here are a few important dates to be aware of:
February 4, 2015: Early Dismissal
February 13, 2015: In-Service Day/ No School
February 16, 2015: President’s Day / No School

As always, if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Only six more weeks of winter according to the groundhog! Let’s hope for that warm weather!
