Almost There!

Dear 2B Families,

We are almost there! A few important items for next week:

• Please remember to work on "Secret Student" letters this weekend. Students should write to their "Secret Student" including compliments and kind words. These are due on Monday 12/19. The students may color the tree on the back of the paper.

• Books for the book exchange need to be brought in on Monday wrapped in your favorite paper! If you are able to bring one extra book as a backup please e-mail me.

• Please send your scholar in with a sturdy bag to store items from their desk. Desks will be cleaned over Winter Break (inside and out) so students may not leave anything inside their desks. We will store all supplies in bags on the back hooks.

• Recycled materials will be much appreciated for an upcoming class project! Toilet paper rolls, paper towel rolls, boxes, plastic bottles, milk jugs, etc.

In PE this week the students learned a combination of dodgeball, laser tag, and capture the flag...how fun!

Scholar Shout-Outs...

Amazing Boxcar Projects! Thank you ALL for working so hard! I made a video of ALL these wonderful pictures but iMovie isn't cooperating at the moment to allow sharing! I'll try again soon.

Keegan brought in a book to share about BUGS! Thank you Keegan!

Next week is a short week and we will use this time to review. 

In Language Arts, students will review some challenging Spalding words from the past! We will also work on alphabetical order and use our phonemic awareness to make words from other words. How many new words do YOU think we will be able to make from the word gingerbread?

Math: We will also use this week to review in math! From arrays, to addition and subtraction with renaming, we will be working hard (and having fun)!

Science: We will go over our Insect Test and make corrections where needed. If we have time, we will talk about what we know about the Human Body to prepare for our next unit in January.

History: We will review what we have learned so far about Ancient Greece. Ask me if I know what democracy means and how it worked in Ancient Greece!

Love,
Mrs. Dombrowski
