Pilgrim Day Photos!
The second grade was able to enjoy a Pilgrim Day on Wednesday. They had fun chopping vegetables to prepare for the pottage, playing Pilgrim games, singing songs, and enjoying pottage, cornbread, and cider afterwards! What a fun day!
Thank you, Mrs. Morris!
Mrs. Morris shared her love for rocks and bones! She was also able to share information about her archaelogical digs! The students were fascinated! I now have children in the class that would like to be geologists someday! We loved hearing her stories and feeling the Flint Rock she brought in to share. Thank you for giving up your time to be with us Mrs. Morris! We really learned a lot!

Request from PE Teachers
This is a request for help. We are in need of gently used swimming suits for the Lower school students. Especially size 5,6,7, 8 and 10. These are used for students that forget their swimsuits. (For example, we sent the suits home last night to be cleaned and we had a few students forget to bring them back the next day) If you could help we would appreciate it. The suits can be dropped off in the PE office. Thank you and have a nice weekend!!

Updates for 2A!
Hello parents,
I just wanted to send a few updates about the next couple months...
Information went home today regarding Pilgrim Day, so please be sure to check your child's folder. We will need some items brought in for next Wednesday. If you plan to be out of town, please e-mail me a reminder so I will know our exact count for the day. Also, if your child plans to be absent that day, then you do NOT need to donate the Pilgrim Day items.
Today's Homework: Please remind your child that tonight's homework should not take any more than 1 hour. If they are working on it for over 1 hour, please stop them and have them finish the next day. We had an unexpected assignment pop up from Mrs. Oeth (Reading the Cinderella story - and doing the glyph), so I told them to make sure they stopped after 1 hour. They also have new homework of looking up spelling definitions, so this make take some extra time as well.
Also, we will be having a Winter Traditions Celebration on December 12 from 2-3pm. We could use around 5 people to volunteer to come in to share a Winter/Holiday tradition with the kids. Last year, the students rotated from room to room and listened to parents share traditions, and left with a small treat. For example, Sue shared the tradition of reading a candy cane book to her daughter and then eating candy canes after. We had parents bring in dough to talk about making Christmas cookies, we also had parents bring in the dradle game, and then gave the kids dradles when they left. There is no limit on the amount of people that want to volunteer that day, but we would like to have at least 5 parents come in. If you are interested, please contact our room mom at your earliest convenience. Again, the party is from 2-3pm, and you may take their children home right afterwards. Thank you for your help with this!
The students have been learning a lot about words in general. For example, synonyms, antonyms, nouns, verbs, and adjectives. If possible, please try to incorporate this vocabulary into your daily routines to help them learn this new vocabulary. Also, today the children went on a "voyage on the Mayflower" in the hall with the other second graders. They tasted salt-horse and hard-tac which was used on the ships. They learned what it was like for the Pilgrims during this time, and were able to be empathetic about this hard journey! Ask them about their favorite part of the journey!
Please continue to check the blog for up to date information. I am trying to stray away from using paper when possible, so please be sure to check it as much as possible! Thank you again for your support!
