Buckle Up! It's a Long One!

This week's newsletter is FULL of important information!  Be sure to read all of it -- which I'm sure you do anyway ;-)!

Recipes Needed … We are going to be working on a special Christmas project from now until Christmas Break.  Students need to bring in one of their favorite SIMPLE recipes.  We will be using these to help us write “How To” stories and compile a special Christmas present for our families :).  Thanks for helping us pick out a recipe.  Please be sure that your child has this recipe by Friday, December 7th.

It’s Cold Outside!  Yes!  It’s seems that the cold weather has come earlier this year – at least the snow has… So, you know what that means don’t you???  Winter Recess Gear!  Please make sure that your child brings all their winter gear to school every day.  We never really know what the weather is going to be like by the time we go to recess so it’s better for us to be prepared!  Students should have boots, snow pants, gloves, coats, etc. each day.  Thanks for your cooperation!

Cookie Walk! …  Just a reminder that volunteers are still needed for the Cookie Walk this next Thursday (after school) and Friday (6:45 a.m. to 9:30 a.m.).  If you are able to help out, please sign up on the sheet taped to our classroom door.  Also, remember that each family is asked to donate 4 dozen cookies.  Thank you for your generosity!

First and Second Grade Choir … We will be singing on Sunday at the 9:30 service.  Students will sit with families and come to the front when Mrs. Priskorn calls them up.

We’re Walking, We’re Walking … We will be walking over to church on Wednesday, December 5th to view the Middle School Musical.  Since we are walking from one church property to another, a permission slip isn’t required, but I just wanted to keep you informed!  If you would like to join us for the production, we will be leaving the school at 1:00.  The Dress Rehearsal begins at 1:30.

Classroom Christmas Party … We will be having our classroom Christmas Party on Wednesday, December 20th.  The party will begin at 10:00.   If you are able to help by supplying any of the needed items please sign up on the sheet outside our classroom. Also, as is our tradition, 2nd grade doesn't exchange gifts.  We do however make treat bags.  Each child may then bring in a little something for the children in the class.  This can be a homemade treat, a nice note, a small toy or pencil, etc.  The idea is not to spend very much money at all! Things at the dollar store that are sold in quantities of 12, or things like that, are wonderful for this occasion.  Please contact me if you have any questions!

Mid-Quarter is Here! … Today marks the halfway point of the second quarter.  Please take time this weekend to look over your child’s grades on Fast Direct.  If your child has any missing assignments and you are in need of second copies, please let me know by an email or note.  Please be sure to include the name of the assignment!  Thanks!

Tests, Tests, Tests … Unit 2 Reading tests came home today.  The students did very well.  Students are not able to make corrections on Reading tests so what you are receiving is a report on your child’s performance.  Also, we will be having a test in Science over Chapter 8 on Thursday.  A review is already available on the school’s Moodle site.  If you have any issues trying to log in to the Moodle site, please let me know ASAP so that I can help you to resolve the issues!

Giving Tree Child …  We are still in need of a few items for our 4 year old boy:  Slippers, size 9-10, Games, Flash Cards (sight or color words work best for this age), and shampoo.  Thank you for all the donations that have been given so far!  It will make a huge difference in this child’s life!

Memory Work due Thursday, December 6th:
Behold, the dwelling place of God is with man.  He will dwell with them, and they will be His people. Revelation 21:3

The Lord is near to all who call on Him, to all who call on Him in truth. Psalm 145:18
