Welcome Winter!

Hello families of B5!!

It was a very busy, but amazing first four months of the school year! We have all worked hard to progress towards reaching grade-level standards. We have a long, hard six months to go. I have no doubt that all of the students will succeed, especially with you extra support at home. Remember to have your student read good-fit books for at least 20 minutes each night (the more, the better). Also, encourage them to share what they are doing in class with you.

Please have a wonderful holiday! I will see you all back in class on January 3, 2011!!

Already Hard at Work!!!

We are already hard at work, here in B5. I appreciate all of your support at home. A few reminders:

• your students signed planner is due every morning, I will stamp it to show that it has been checked. Please write total minutes (20 minutes or more) and sign your name in the yellow box. If they read and return their planner each day, they will be allowed to attend the WOLVES icecream party!!



• Math homework starts tonight. It is due the day after it is assigned. Please check your students work.



• Home Story Journal is due Friday morning.



• Spelling homework is due Friday morning.

Thanks for your help with this!!

Welcome to a Brand New School Year!!!

Welcome back to school! I hope you all had a great summer break.

Please check this blog for news and upcoming events. Also, I love to post pictures of what we are up to in B5. Please send the bright pink paper (it will be in the Monday folder) back to school with your student as soon as possible so that I may start uploading pictues!

I look forward to an awesome year with another AMAZING group of second graders!!! Have a wonderful weekend!!

Coins for Haiti Starts Monday

I'm sure you have all heard about the devastating earthquake that the country of Haiti has recently experienced. Because of this, our class has decided to organize and lead a school wide penny drive to raise funds for the country of Haiti. All money collected will go the the Red Cross. This penny drive begins Monday!

Please help spread the word around our community! We will collect coins Feb. 22-26 in the lobby from 8:45 until 9:00 each morning.

Thank you for your help with this project!!

Friday is Hat Day!!

Our last spirit day was "Wear Green Day". This Friday will be hat day! Students may wear any kind of hat (school appropriate) to school! Let's see if we can get our whole class to participate! Let's show our school spirit!!

OMSI Pictures continued...

Our Last OMSI Presentation: "Forest Wonders"

On Tuesday, we had our last OMSI presentation: "Forest Wonders". We learned lots about trees. We also got to explore many different hands-on stations! It was very fun!! Here are some pictures:

Busy Days to Come!

Hello!!!

We have some busy days coming up in B5. On Monday, Bobbi from YEEP (youth environmental eduction program) will be stopping by first thing in the morning. Please try very hard to be in class by 9:00 that day or you will miss part of the lesson!!

Also, Tuesday, we have our last OMSI assembly. It starts right at 9:00. Again, please be to school on time so you don't miss out! :) Both of these activities will be very fun and we will learn a lot!

One last thing... B5 is in need of a few things. If you would be able to donate, it would be very much appreciated!! We need:

• snacks- pretzels, crackers, cookies, raisins, cereal, etc.
• ziplock baggies- snack size or sandwich size
• baby wipes
• clorox (or other brand) disinfecting wipes
• handsoap
• empty, washed out gallon milk jugs

Thanks so much for your help!!
