Parent Orientation

Thank you to everyone who came to the Parent Orientation Night. I had lots of information to hand out, especially about homework and spelling. I am working on a quick link that will explain homework and spelling to post on the blog. If you were unable to make it please emaiil me with questions. I will do all I can to make sure the assignments are clear. I have magnets for everyone with my email, blog address, and twitter name. If you did not get one please email me and I will send it home with your student! Thanks!!

New School Year

I am so excited for this new school year. As much as I love my summer vacation, nothing compares to the start of a new school year. I am so excited you are all in my class and look forward to a great second grade year!!

2nd Grade Program

Parents,
I have heard from some of you that you will be out of town for our program Monday May 16th. The 2nd grade will be performing 2 times during the day for the school and if you would like to attend then you are more than welcome. We will be performing Friday May 13 at 2:00pm and Monday May 16 at 10:00am in the auditorium. The students have worked very hard these past few weeks to put the final touches on the program and we'd love you all to see it!

Thanks.

Testing Information

April 29, 2011

Dear Parents and Students,

As this year comes to a close, and testing season begins, students have the opportunity to show all they have learned in 2nd grade. We plan on beginning testing May 3rd. Before we begin there are a few things I will need your help with. It is very important that students get a good night sleep and eat breakfast during testing. It is imperative your children are here on time and if possible, do not leave school early. These practices will help your children feel awake, alert, and help them to perform their best. Thank you for your help and support this year and during testing.

These are the days we plan on testing; please make sure your child is at school on time.

May 3-May 5

May 10- May 12



Sincerely,


Miss Foster

Back from Spring Break

This morning was full of sleepy students itching for another day of Spring Break. There were a select few who said they were ready to be back at school. I hope you all enjoyed your week off and were able to relax. We will begin reviewing these next few weeks for testing to help everyone feel better prepared. I will be sending a note home with specfic testing dates. We are almost to the end! This year has just flown by, but it has been an incredible one and I owe much of that to you and your students.

Can You See Them?

Mrs. Jensen has taught our second grade all about adapatations. Animals have senses and basic instincts necessary for survival. Some animals have the ability to blend into their surroundimgs. Some of theses animals even have the ability to change colors. Again, thanks to Yahoo for giving us some great pictures to illustrate these unique abilities. Students were able to look at these to find 11 different animals camouflagued in their environments. See if you can find them.

Who Is The Meanest Animal?

We have spent the past few weeks studying animals in both our science units and our liteacy books. We were able to find a video that was full of interesting facts about animals that live around the world. We voted on which animal was the meanest and collectively the class chose the great white shark. We then watched this video, compliments of Yahoo! to discover we were no where near the right answer. Hopefully you find it just as fascinating as we did!
