WELCOME HEROES!!
The Heroes had a wonderful first week in second grade. We talked a lot about communities and did a lot of getting-to-know-you activities. The kids are already making friends and feeling comfortable in class. We are looking forward to an awesome year of learning. Please know that you can feel free to contact me at anytime with questions or concerns. All of my contact information can be found at the bottom of the homework sheet.
A BIG THANK YOU!!!
Thank you so much to the parents who have already bought items from our Wish List that was up on the board during Meet & Greet and Open House. We are very thankful to have Band-Aids, extra tissues, journal paper, and soap for our classroom sink. We truly appreciate your contributions.

WHERE IN THE WORLD HOMEWORK STARTS WEEK #3
We will soon begin our "Where in the World" homework. This is part of the HET (Highly Effective Learning) learning experience. I will assign 3-4 kids each week to bring in current events articles that are second grade appropriate and show how citizenship, leadership, or stewardship are being displayed in various parts of the world. We will put the articles up for display in our room and will find where the stories happened on our world map.
GETTING TO KNOW YOU PRESENTATIONS
I have sent home a letter to you regarding our "grab bag" presentation that the kids will be doing on Friday, August 26th from 8:30-9:30 a.m. We hope to see everyone there. It is a truly fun time for the kids to introduce themselves to the parents and their new classmates.
PARENT VOLUNTEER SUBSTITUTES
We are in need of parents to volunteer to be substitutes for the classroom. Each month, the second grade team will have grade level meetings to discuss teaching strategies and complete collaborative work. In order to make this happen, we rely on parents to train as volunteers to substitute in our classrooms for a few hours each month, while we are in the meeting. You will have detailed lesson plans and materials that will make this as easy as possible for you. Anyone who can offer the time will be GREATLY appreciated!! The first training will be on Friday, August 26th at 10:00 a.m. (directly following our class "Getting to Know You Presentation". Please call the front office, if you are interested in being a parent sub for the Heroes.
