Update 12/15

Hello Families,

This week we are hard at work preparing for our Holiday Show scheduled for tomorrow night, 12/16, beginning at 7 pm. All students should report to our classroom at 6:45pm. THANKS!

We are also busy completing our holiday projects and getting ready for our LONG break! We will be off from school for 16 days! During down time (if that even exists!) it would be great to have your children read and practice Rocket Math Facts. THANKS!!

Have a Fantastic, Healthy, Safe Holiday!

Mrs. Scull



PS: Happy New Year ,too!

Update 12/8

Greetings Families:

As we wind down through December the elves in 2nd grade will be very busy! We will be creating a few special secrets as well as finishing our Rudolph stories. We will have a special guest, Emily's daddy Mr. Einstien, who will present a learning program all about Hannukah. We are looking forward to this fun activity! This week we will be finishing Math Unit 4 AND completing Theme 3 of our Language Arts Series. The Math test will be on Wednesday and regular tests for Reading and Spelling will be on Friday. (Phonograms ar, arm will be emphasised along with proper nouns)

We will also finish up Science Chapter 3 Plants. The test for this will be next Tuesday, Dec. 16th.

Next week will be a FUN week with our Holiday Cheer Day on Wed. Dec. 17th, our trip to the Pitman Theater to see a Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer play on Thursday, Dec. 18th and a special PTA craft time with singer/ songwriter John Flynn coming on Friday, Dec. 19th. Exciting and Special times at Elmer School!

Warm wishes for a wonderful holiday to you and yours,
