Halloween Party

Posted on October 26, 2015 by susan.lindsey
Hello!,
On Friday we will be having our Halloween party from 12:00 to 12:55. We will be decorating and eating sugar cookies for the activity in our class. We will be rotating  for activities with 3 other 2nd grade classrooms. I will need some help from any parents who are willing to come and help! This will be a fun day since everyone will be dressed up and excited for the holiday. We will be doing a parade through the school and Jr. High in the morning so that everyone can see our costumes. I posted a food permission form 2 posts ago, that I need each child’s parent to click on and then sign so that no one is left out.
We will be taking our word study test on Thursday, due to the festivities on Friday.

No regular homework, STEM, Fall Break, Halloween, PTC

Posted on October 9, 2015 by susan.lindsey
Happy Friday!,
I just wanted to update everyone on the crazy month of October.
Due to fall break, we will not be doing word study so homework will only be computer activities and reading. Wednesday the 14th is an early out but not a dress down day. Thursday and Friday there will be no school.
We have started our STEM project and learning what it is all about. We will be creating a working windmill next week to get us started. I am amazed at the incredible background knowledge that many in the class have about windmills. I think this is going to be a wonderful and fun experience! Please let me know if you ever have questions or ideas as we get this new adventure going.
Parent Teacher Conferences will be held on Thursday, October 29 from 3:30 til 5:30. Please let me know if you would like to be scheduled in to come see me to discuss your child’s goals.
Our Halloween party will be on Friday, October 30th from 12:00 to 1:00. I had some parents sign up to help with the party at back to school night. If you didn’t sign up and are willing to come help, please let me know. We will be rotating through 4 classes for activities. We will be decorating cookies in my classroom.
I want to thank you for allowing me to spend each day with your child. This is really an amazing, hard-working and a class that supports one another. I am truly blessed to be surrounded by these kids.
Have a wonderful weekend!
Susan Lindsey
