Wednesday, February 1st

NEWS: Happy Volunteer Appreciation day!! Thank you to all of our second grade volunteers who help make a difference in our school every time you help out! We REALLY appreciate you!!


We had a G-R-E-A-T 100th day of school today! We were challenged in math with a 100th day multi-step problem! We worked hard to try and figure it out.   We brainstormed 100 things we have learned in the past 100 days.

Tomorrow is Student Appreciation Day.  The students may wear "Free Dress" and will be receiving a special treat of doughnuts during morning recess.  There will be absolutely NO HOMEWORK TOMORROW NIGHT to celebrate our students.

We had the following Famous Heroes visit our class today: George Washington, Amelia Earhart, Michael Phelps, Orville Wright (The Wright Brothers), Ghandi, Anne Frank, Lou Gehrig, Wolfgang Mozart, John F. Kenndey, Johnny Appleseed, and Joan of Arc!  They all told us so many wonderful things about themselves! Heroes, you ALL gave amazing presentations today in class!!! I am so proud of you!  (Mom and Dad, if you would like to see your "hero" talk about themselves please check out the video and pictures I will be posting tonight on my Picasa account.  I will email everyone the link.  The newest additions are at the very bottom.  Please share these with your students.)
