Welcome back!!!

I'm glad to see everyone back at school today, and glad everyone was safe during Tropical Storm Fay. Can I just say, I LOVE these kids? They put a smile on my face and just make my day. Today being our first full day of school, I can say it has been a GREAT joy to get to know them. Today when they shared their red bags with 5 things about them, it was so neat to see their interests and talents.

Do NOT worry about Tuesday night's homework; we took care of it in class. Tonight being Church night--relax and go to church with your family. We will resume the homework sheet for Thursday night. Please be aware that homework MUST be turned in, or your child will receive a "W" for work not turned in.

Thanks to all of you that have picked things off of our 2nd grade "Giving Tree". If you have not, please come up and pick something! I appreciate all of your help.

Speaking of the "Giving Tree", we will be reading this story in class tomorrow and doing some activities with it. It is such an amazing lesson of selflessness that is vital for our children to learn.

We are loving learning about the Olympics. Today we are learning about Ancient Olympics, and your child is completing a mini-book that tells them about the history of the First Olympics. Thank you for the articles that were sent in; you can continue to send articles in; we will be doing something in class with them.

BONUS FOR READING THIS BLOG::: If you post a comment before noon tomorrow, your child gets an extra Market Day ticket!!!

Have a great rest of the week! Check my blog daily for brags, updates, and information!
