Book Fair and ThinkShow

A special thank you to Mrs. Kearney for helping with our door display for the book fair. We have the opportunity to win free books for our class through the decorating contest! The theme this year is luau. 

Our class will shop on Tuesday and Thursday from 2:00-2:30. Please make sure to send in your child's shopping money in a Ziploc bag with their name on it. Feel free to come up and help them shop during their time. Also, make sure to join us for family night on Thursday from 6-8pm.

On Friday, your child brought home information about their ThinkShow project. The whole school is going to use the centennial theme again. Our class had the 50s, so that is the time period we will focus on. Your child has been assigned a specific topic from that time. They will do research at home to answer some questions about their topic. They will use that information to write a narrative in class. In addition, your child will create an artifact at home. Your child can create a PowerPoint, poster, book, mobile, album cover, brochure, advertisement, or game. The research and artifact are due on February 21st. Remember, there is no school on the 20th.

                                     Our book count is up to 76!!!!! Happy Reading!!!

61 books and Counting!

They have read 61 books so far! Here is what our wall looks like now. I am so proud of their hard work and the growth they have made in reading this school year. Here is a link to our class wiki for the things we will need for our 100 book celebration. A date has not been set yet. I will let you know as soon as they reach their goal.

They did an outstanding job!!!! I am so proud of them!

Our class began an 100 hundred book challenge last week. They are working as a team to read 100 chapter books. For the books to count, they must take an AR test on each book and score at least 80%. It does not matter how big or small the chapter books are. The class got to vote on their reward, and they want a pajama party with pizza, a movie, and ice cream. Looks like we will be partying soon because they read and tested on 28 chapter books last week! They are amazing! Please continue to encourage them to read every night at home. I will keep you posted on our goal! Also, I replaced the students' folders who said they lost theirs, so everyone should have a fresh start!

Happy 100th Day!

Happy 100th day from Mrs. Miller's fabulous second graders! I am so proud of their hard work. I can't wait to see what the rest of the school year has in store for us. Our class photo site has been updated, so stop by and check it out. http://mrsmillerswoodlandwonders.shutterfly.com/ Don't forget our family gathering is this Friday.

100th Day of School

I just want to remind everyone that the 100th day of school is Monday. A note went home about it last week in your child's communication folder. They can decorate a hat with a 100 things and wear it on Monday. They can also wear their 100th anniversary Campus School shirt.

Don't forget our family gathering is this coming Friday, January 27th. They should be practicing their part at home. The script came home last week.

Also, your child's red folder came home on Friday. I waited to send it on Friday, so I could send home their latest Aimsweb reading report. It is your copy to keep. Please send back their folders on Monday.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend!
