  • Want to supervise & hang out with your child? We LOVE support with lunch & recess! 🙂 https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10c0f4ca4ac28a3fbc34-1stand#/
  • Learning Celebration: Unfortunately I will be out of town on February 3rd so I will not be here for The Learning Celebration. I apologize and appreciate your understanding. The guest teacher has agreed to have parents come into the class between 1pm-3:30pm for you to look at your student’s work. The student will be picked up from the classroom and there will be no drive lane that day.
  • Valentine’s Day: It’s almost time to celebrate our Valentines (FRIENDS)! Second grade will be celebrating in our classrooms on February 14th by sharing Valentines and some fun activities during our normal school day. If your student would like to make Valentines for their classmates, they are welcome to, as long as one is made for each student in their classroom. A class list is attached. Valentine boxes or bags (to collect their Valentines) must be decorated at home and brought in for that day. If anyone is in need of bags or Valentine’s cards, please let me know. Please note our NO SWEETS and NO NUTS policy. Stickers are an amazing alternative! Also, let me know if you want to bring in a HEALTHY snack for your student to share. 🙂
