Woohoo for Week Two!

Woohoo! We made it through week 2! :) It was a busy week....but that's probably going to be the story every week this year! We are still working on learning routines and procedures, and that will continue for a while. Overall, the students are doing well and have officially taken their first tests of 2nd grade.
I forgot to include pictures last week from our annual Back to School Bash. I'm glad I was able to see quite a few of you there. I'm just sad I didn't get a picture of everyone. But I hope you all had a blast! I know Linley enjoyed it. She got to see Anna and Elsa. It definitely did not feel like Arendelle outside though! :) Here are just a few of the sweet faces I saw. Photo credits to Mrs. McAbee on a few of these since I had to leave and get Vivi out of that heat!

 

I sent home some information Friday about our upcoming field trip to Hatcher Gardens scheduled for September 14. As it states, we can only allow 3 chaperones per class. If I have more than 3 volunteers, I'll draw names to be fair. I will contact the 3 parents that volunteer. There are 2 more field trips planned this year, so if you can not attend this one, we'd love to have you help on one of the next 2! Please let me know ASAP if you would like to chaperone so we can see if you have an updated SLED check on file with the district. If not, we'll need to get that done next week so it will be completed in time. The cost is $26. Visit the following link to read more about where we are going.

Be sure to read the weekly newsletter to see what all is going on in our classroom this week. We start several new things this week: our first spelling list/test and new units in SS and Math. Also, school pictures will be made Sept. 3, so dress in your best! Don't forget there will be no school next Monday, Sept.7 due to the Labor Day holiday. I hope you have a nice, long weekend with your families!  Have a fabulous week!
