Week of 12/10

Homework:
This will be the last week of homework this year (until 2019).  Next week will be our last spelling test until next year.  This is a good time to make sure your second grader has all homework turned in for this quarter.

Math Test:
We had an extremely hectic Thursday last week.  On top of the hectic-ness, I gave the students the wrong math test and their scores were very poor.  Because of this, you will not be seeing a math test come home from last week.

How the Grinch Stole Christmas:
We will be performing How the Grinch Stole Christmas Reader's Theater with a bit of acting thrown in on December 21st at 9:00 am and 10:00 am in our classroom.  We would love for you to come and see what we have been working on.  Please come a few minutes early so you can check into the office.  We will begin each performance on time.

Students have created a list of props they would like to use in the performance.  If you are able to donate any of these, we would appreciate it.  We are looking for things you have lying around.  I don't need you to buy anything or spend a lot of time making something.  I know you are very busy and we can create simple props if needed.

Santa hats (for the student who brings it)

Christmas Celebration:
On Friday, December 21st we will we will play some fun holiday games from 11:00 until 12:20.  If students want to bring snacks to share during that time, they may.  We do have lunch at 12:30.

  1. Thank you Mrs. George. Has anyone mentioned they are bringing anything specific? As far as props are concerned, what would you say would be best?

    1. I have some empty wrapped gifts so far. In the past we have designed the larger items (chimney, sleigh) on large pieces of paper and attached them to chairs or walls. We can do that next week unless someone has a different idea.
