Spotlight Posters/ Read-A-Thon / Book Character Day

Spotlight Posters

For the last several years we have studied a unit on FAMILIES.  I am sending home a SPOTLIGHT poster for you to work on together as a family.  Please take your time with this project.  I will be displaying them in the hallway.  I have many parents over the years comment that they still have their child's poster.  I hope you enjoy working together to make this a special project.  The posters are due on Thursday, March 9th. 

Read-A-Thon

Wow!!  impressive group of readers.  The final count is not out yet, but we look like we are going to make our goal.  Thanks for our continued support reading to your child.  Today we are just around 5,000 minutes!  Way to go Room 2!

Valentine Day / Read-A-Thon

Our Valentine's Party will be on Tuesday, Feb. 14th from 1:30-2:00.  It will just be a simple party to celebrate the friendships the students have made in Room 2.  We will be eating jello with whip cream on top and cheese sticks and grapes.  They will be opening up their valentine cards and saying Thank you to their friends.  All parents are invited to come:)
