Hello Families,
I hope you and your families had a great first week back following winter vacation. We worked hard as a class to remember our classroom expectations and routines. Some highlights from this past week are detailed below!
-Homework Log: Thank you families for your support with our first week of using a Homework Log! For the most part, students were extremely responsible with completing and returning them; woohoo! As a reminder, please ensure your students are completing 20 minutes of reading each night and the assigned math program as well. Thanks for your help with this :) -Heritage: Each year, second graders complete a Heritage Unit where they pick a country of origin from their family history and research it. This usually culminates in a Heritage Day celebration at the beginning of April. Due to COVID restrictions, that celebration won't look as it has in years past; however, we're working hard as a second grade team to ensure the unit contains many fun and engaging aspects. Your students will bring home the attached document tomorrow. As an initial step in this work, please talk with your child and determine which country they will be studying over the next few months. I ask that you do your best to have these returned by Thursday, January 14th. -Donors Choose Yoga Mats: As you may remember, earlier this school year I submitted a project proposal for Yoga Mats for our classroom using the website Donors Choose. As a follow-up to the project being funded and completed, I must submit project pictures of the materials being used as well as the project's impact within our classroom! I have attached the website-provided permission slip below for you to look over with regard to me taking pictures of your children. It's highly likely the photos won't be used by the website, but I wanted to ensure privacy measures were taken. After reading it through, if you would not like me to take their picture, please respond to me directly. Thank you! Thanks for your continued partnership this year!
