Mrs. Sibley’s Weekly Newsletter – 9/16/2021
Happy Thursday, Families!
It has been another busy week in 2nd grade! We have been starting our new topic in math, which is addition and subtraction up to 100! Today, we also had our first Art Masterpiece class. Thank you, Ms. LePorte!! I know they had a great time!!! In English, we studied bears and eaglets, which is continuing our study about how animal offspring are like their parents.
Field Trip:
Our first 2nd grade field trip is coming! Please make sure to sign up your students as payment is due on Tuesday, 9/21/2021 as administration can’t take any payments after that date. Also, chaperones are required by the school to have a Fingerprint Clearance Card. We already have 4 chaperones (Ms. Mistico, Ms. Butcher, Ms. Aleman, & Ms. Reed). We have a spot for one more. https://yqysjrrxph.formstack.com/forms/schnepf_farms_field_trip

Art Masterpiece Volunteers:
We are looking for some volunteers to help out at Art Masterpiece. Please sign up at the following link: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10c0f4fa8ae22a5fbc07-artmasterpiece. Also, we have an amazing Art Masterpiece coordinator but we are looking for one more. Please let me know if this is something you are interested in and I can have someone reach out to you with more information.
Yellow Notebooks (Agendas):
Ask your student about their yellow notebooks at night! They are writing 2 things in there that they have learned throughout the day, grammar sentences in the morning, and writing prompts. Feel free to add any notes to support your student as well! This is just a great way for you to connect with what your student is learning!
Green Folders:
Every Friday, we will be sending home a green folder with your student. Students should be bringing them back on Monday. Please go through these with your students as I try to make notes. In the folder there is work that they should keep at home. I have also added any work in there that they did not complete throughout the week. I appreciate all of your support as I am providing extra time after lunch (besides morning arrival and dismissal time) to work on sheets that they had not yet completed.
Google Classroom:
Thank you to all the parents who have signed their students into Google Classroom. I have had about 19 students signed in so I am still waiting for about 6 more. Please let me know if you have any questions or are unable to get onto Gmail as I can have administration reset passwords.
