Share Bag and More!

I hope you all had a wonderful start to your week! The share bag went home for the first time today. When the share bag comes home with your child they need to pick one item to bring to school the following school day to share with the class. The item must fit in the bag and follow school rules (no toy weapons). It is very important that they return the bag the next school day because the next child in line is eagerly waiting for their turn. 
Don't forget to sign-up to be a mystery reader. We love having our loved ones come read to us. You can find the sign-up info at http://lpmiller0521.wikispaces.com/Mystery+Reader

Our class has about 20% participation in the CSPN support drive so far. Check out the envelope that came home last week for more information. If our class gets 100% participation, we will get a blue jean day!! It only takes as little as a dollar to show your support for our wonderful school!

Friday we are having our first Snazzy Snack. Our Snazzy Snacks usually tie into something we are studying.  Please let me know if your child has any food allergies or restrictions. Visit our Snazzy Snack Wiki to get more details about our snack for this Friday. http://lpmiller0521.wikispaces.com/Snazzy+Snacks 

Your child brought home a new poem today. Make sure they practice every night!

Weekly Work

Your child brought home their weekly work today. Remember, the papers on the keep at home side are yours to keep. Once you finish reviewing the papers on the return to school side, make sure to put them back in the folder. Also, sign and date the weekly work signature form. Please do not put any other questions on this form. You can put those in their planner. 



Today we learned about the left and right brain. They will be bringing home their brains tomorrow!
Our day ended on a wonderful note! The students beat me in the points today, so they got to vote on what we did for the last 5 minutes of our day. They chose drawing on the white board!

Week 3

Dear Parents,

    Our week is off to a great start! Make sure to check your child's binder for new information coming home today.


You will find their newsletter for the week and the CSPN drive envelope in their communication folder on the return to school side. The newsletter can be stored on the keep at home side until you are ready to turn it in on Friday.

A new pocket has been added to your child's binder. It is their poetry pocket. This is where you will find your child's weekly poem. They should read their poem to you every night. Please initial the sheet everytime they practice.  

Their homefun from last week is on the keep at home side. It has been checked for completion, so it is now yours to keep. Please remove it from their folder tonight.

Welcome!!!

We had an amazing first week of school, and our second week is off to a great start! Your child will be bringing home their weekly newsletter today. Please make sure to read over it. We have many important dates coming up. Their homework sheets are also attached to it. Homework is not due until Friday.

Our class goes to P.E. on Tuesdays and Thursdays, so it is important they wear tennis shoes on those days. Also, all lunch money shoud be sent in a plastic bag or envelope with your child's name on it.

I hope to see you all on Thursday night for open house. You can find more information about it on the newsletter. Also, make sure to follow our class blog, so you never miss a post. Have a great week!

My favorite memory from second grade is when we wrote our spelling words in shaving cream. First, Mrs. Miller put shaving cream on the tables. Next, Mrs. Miller told us to spread the shaving cream. Last, Mrs. Miller called out our spelling words, and we wrote them in the shaving cream. It was fun fun! The End
