I can't believe that two weeks have already passed. We have been hard at work learning routines, getting to know each other, completing assessments, and generally preparing for the year ahead. I can already tell that this is a fabulous group of kiddos and I am looking forward to getting to know each and every one of them as the year goes on.
This blog is were I will attempt to post pictures, information, and news you can use during the upcoming year. I will email you when there is a new blog post so you can be sure to look. Generally, I post at the end of the week. I strive to post weekly, but often it is more like once or twice a month.
THANK YOU to all of you who have taken the time to complete your parent "homework" packets. Please be sure to fill out the purple parent questionnaire. This is very helpful for me and lets me get a head start on getting to know your child.
Also, if you are able to send in a family picture, please do. These pictures bring a feeling of home into the classroom. We post them on the wall so students can look at them when they need/want to.
Lunch Numbers:
If your student gets hot lunch, please take a little time this weekend to help him/her memorize their Student ID number. You can find this number on official communications from the school. I will also be sending it home this week so your student can practice. They use this number when ordering school lunch, and it is important that they get it right so they don't accidentally charge another student's account.
All About Me Bag:
Thank you for helping your child complete their All About Me bags! Ms. Johnson and I learned a lot about each kiddo, and they all enjoyed sharing a bit of themselves with the class.
School Pay:
The second grade team is asking for a $20 donation from each family to cover the costs of Scholastic News magazine as well as buses for field trips. If you are able to donate, it is most helpful for the office is you can make your contribution through School Pay. Ms. T can then run a report for me to let me know who has contributed. Thank you in advance. Your generosity is greatly appreciated.
Information on field trips and associated costs will be coming soon!
Volunteer Information/Background Check:
If you do not have a current background check on record with PPS, please do so as soon as possible. This is a necessary process to go through in order to volunteer, attend field trips, etc. You can visit the PPS website here for more information on background checks: http://www.pps.net/Page/149
Scholastic Book Orders:
A Scholastic book order form will be coming home with your students soon. A letter explaining online ordering is coming home today. Scholastic is a great way to provide reading materials for your child for a (usually) discounted rate. If you would like to order, it is best if you can do it online. That way, we do not have money and/or checks in the classroom to get lost.
1. Choose books with your child from the paper flyers or online at: scholastic.com/bookclubs
2. To order online, connect to our class using our Class Code: HXNPK
