Monday, October 15th

NEWS: Tomorrow will be our first "live" announcement for the October Service Project outside during morning announcements! Practice the words tonight if you don't know it by heart.  We will ALL be singing for the whole school. Great singing this morning!

We will be having a Social Studies test on Friday.  You need to know where all of the continents are, what the three important countries in North America are, the four main directions, what the bodies of water and landforms look like on a map. You can use your notebook and maps to help you get ready for the test.

HOMEWORK: Our next homework packet came home today.  Do your best on each page to complete it by following directions. Mom and Dad should look at your completed work each night to see that you followed directions.

Check out our Dinosaur Webquest by clicking here: http://olc.spsd.sk.ca/de/webquests/dino/dinowq.htm
On your purple packet, write down your top 3 choices for your dinosaur and bring it back to school tomorrow. We will be working on this project in class over the next couple weeks.

YOU SHOULD BE READING THIS WEBSITE EVERYDAY WITH MOM AND DAD SO YOU AND THEY KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON AT SCHOOL.

Sunday, October 14th

Hello Everyone,

Thank you all for great conferences this past week.  It was so nice to meet with all of our second grade families and make plans for how we can be our very BEST in second grade! I am excited to see all of the changes that will be happening with each of you at home and at school with your new responsibility as second graders.

CANDY!!!! We will make our first announcement over the loud speaker tomorrow morning once all of the students go to their classes.  If you are doing a "solo" please be ready to sing with your loud voices.  Mom and Dad, you are welcome to stay on campus (in our classroom) to hear our first performance.  Then, on Tuesday and Thursday the WHOLE CLASS will be singing at morning announcements for the school and showing off the giant candy we made.  Mom and Dad, please join us for morning announcements on these days. Thanks for your hard work with our service project! You are going to do great!

Love,

Mrs. Wall =)

Homework is different this week! Check it out!

Good Afternoon Everyone,

Like I said in class today, our weekly homework is different this week.  We DO NOT have a homework packet.  Your homework will be about what you talk with Mrs. Wall during your conference.  SECOND GRADERS MUST ATTEND the conferences as YOU are leading it and telling us all about second grade.  Mom and Dad, please do not come alone! Bring your second grader with you.

In addition to your conference homework you need to continue to do these EVERY night:

HRL-Read for 20 minutes and complete your HRL
Mathletics-earn one gold bar
Raz-Kids-read and listen to one book

See you this afternoon or tomorrow!

Love,

Mrs. Wall

Hi Boys and Girls,

Thank you for a great day! I hope you enjoy these three days with your family.  Please start to practice our CANDY song this weekend. We will be having in class "auditions" for the verses at the beginning.  We'll pick a couple students for each verse to sing it at morning announcements throughout the month of October.  Have fun!

Next week EVERYDAY we have early dismissal at 12:30.  Boys and girls, please be thinking about how you can be a better student at St. Lawrence.  I will be asking you to share your ideas at your conference.  Mom and Dad, please don't forget that your second grade student MUST COME WITH YOU to our conference this coming week. Thank you all for signing up on time!

Congratulations again boys and girls for donating the most school supplies in all of elementary! It was fun to see you learning in your "street clothes" today.

Here are the lyrics to our song if you lost them already.

Love, Mrs. Wall


DONATE CANDY!!
 
By Mr. Wall =)
to the tune of Call Me Maybe

They threw some Pez in a sack
Twizzlers, two to a pack
I ate Snickers for a snack
And now my tummy hurts

I trade my Nerds for two Twix
Smarties and Mars for a Kiss
I wasn’t looking for this
But now my teeth are black

Milk Duds I’m holding
Jelly Beans pile is growing
Red Hots, candy’s flowing
What to do with all this candy?

Hey, I just got it, and this is crazy
There’s troops in need, so donate candy.
It’s hard to go fight for your country
There’s troops in need, so donate candy!

Hey, I just got it, and this is crazy
There’s troops in need, so donate candy.
It’s hard to go fight for your country
There’s troops in need, so donate candy!
Took time to trick-or-treat
Halloween was o so sweet
Way too much candy to eat, why not give it away?
I beg, borrow and deal
The gold coin wasn’t real
Ate M&M’s for a meal, please take it away!

Milk Duds I’m holding
Jelly Beans, pile is growing
Red Hots, candy’s flowing
What to do with all this candy?

Hey, I just got it, and this is crazy
There’s troops in need, so donate candy.
It’s hard to go fight for your country
There’s troops in need, so donate candy!
Hey, I just got it, and this is crazy
There’s troops in need, so donate candy.
It’s hard to go fight for your country
There’s troops in need, so donate candy!
Before I gave it away I felt so bad
I felt so bad, I felt so so bad
But now the troops overseas will be so glad
They’ll be so glad, grateful and so so glad.

It’s hard to go fight for your country
There’s troops in need, so donate candy!

Hey, I just got it, and this is crazy
There’s troops in need, so donate candy.
It’s hard to go fight for your country
There’s troops in need, so donate candy!
Before I gave it away I felt so bad
I felt so bad, I felt so so bad
But now the troops overseas will be so glad
They’ll be so glad
SO DONATE CANDY!
