Announcements

10/14/08 - I need 54 milk/ chocolate milk or orange juice cartons from lunch 
time.  You would need to come collect them and then take them home anr rinse 
them out.  I will also need the boxes cut.  We are going to use them to make 
cars for our simple machines unit. 


10/14/08 - Take home project.  Our simple machines unit is coming up, and I 
need someone to fill 54 dixie cups with rice and tape them so the rice does 
not come out.  I have all the materials, and would want the project 
completed after Thanksgiving break.


9/25/08 - WEEKLY VOLUNTEER NEEDED, TAKE HOME PROJECT - The Time for Kids 
magazine we order come bundled together.  It is time consuming for me to 
take them apart each week and then put the students names on them with a 
sharpie.  It is an easy project but just takes 10 min. each week.  I can 
send them home as soon as I get them, and then would need them back within 
two days so they are not out of date when the students read them.  Let me 
know if you are interested.

9/17/08 - October Lucky book orders due Sept 25th.  

9/8/08 - Second Graders will enjoy a day in the West on Thursday, September 
11. Second graders need to bring a box lunch and may dress in western or 
pioneer 
clothing. 



9/4/08 - Next week we start NWEA testing.  This is the first year for these 
kiddos.  This test is taken in the computer lab and will be over reading, 
language arts, and math.  This will effect our math schedule for the next 2 
weeks, therefore there will be little to no homework at that time.

9/4/08 - We are still in need of help for Westward expansion day.  We need 
more parent volunteers.  Please let us know if you will be able to help.

9/4/08 - thanks, I got all of the at home projects filled at this time.  
Thanks for your help.

8/21/08 - WESTWARD EXPANSION DAY-  This is coming up so fast.  Please look 
for info in Thurday folders and mark your calendars for Thursday September 
11th.  We will need volunteers.

8/20/08 -  VOLUNTEER NEEDED/ AT HOME PROJECT   If you would like some 
volunteer hours be able to do them at home, let me know.  

8/20/08 - Morning Recess-  In second grade we do not have a snack tub, but 
each child is to bring their own small, healthy snack that can be eaten in 
a couple of minutes.  It will be eaten at our morning recess which is at 
9:25 am.  Thank you for your help with this.  We think this gives you as 
parents the ability to send a snack tha tyou want your child to eat. 

8/20/08 - SPOW - Special Panther of the week - 	In second grade we celebrate 
each student as the Special Panther of the Week (SPOW) sometime during the 
year. See attached list for exact dates. 
-	The SPOW will bring home a small bulletin board the Friday before 
their special week which may be decorated with pictures of the student (Mrs. 
Young especially likes baby pictures of the student and pictures of the 
student¡¦s family), awards, interests and whatever else the student may wish 
to share with the class.  
-	We usually share the board on Tuesdays of the student¡¦s SPOW week.  
The SPOW may also bring in a pet to share.  If it is a small furless pet in 
a cage or container, it may stay all day.  Larger or furry pets will be 
shared outside, hopefully during recess (9:25 or 12:15¡Xthere are less 
people 
out in am).  Arrangements need to be made ahead of time with Mrs. Young.
-	The SPOW will get to sit in the SPOW chair all week during DEAR and 
other reading times.
-	When students with summer birthdays have their SPOW week, we will 
also celebrate their birthday during that week, you may choose a day that 
week that is convenient for you if you want to bring a treat¡Xjust let me 
know. 
-	If your student¡¦s birthday is on a school day, we will celebrate 
that day.  If it is on a weekend or holiday, we will celebrate whichever day 
is closer or more convenient for you. 
-	Students may bring in a birthday treat to share with the class on 
their birthday or assigned celebration day.  Please send napkins and plates 
if needed.  We will eat the birthday treat after specials (2:25) in the 
afternoon (outside as long as the weather is good) after we celebrate.
