December’s Stem Challenge is to make a toy from trash/junk that your child finds at home. They can create a new game or copy one that has already been made. Please have them bring in everything they will need to make their toy asap. Some things “considered junk” could include coffee filters, cupcake liners, duct tape, plastic silverware, etc. Please put their .”junk” in a plastic bag with their name on it so it won’t get misplaced.
If you have any questions, please let me know 🙂
Good afternoon! In second grade, we due a unit called Christmas Around the World. The class learns about different customs and foods from different places in the world. Part of this exciting unit is that we bring food in from some of the countries so that the kids can see and taste the differences. Please sign the attached permission slip ASAP! We will begin our first country on Friday and I need all the permission slips or your child can’t have any “treats”.

Each year, the Second Grade classes come up with a service project that will have a lasting impact on our students. This year we have decided to use Penniesforpeace.org as our service project. This organization is a nonprofit organization that works with communities in remote areas of Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Tajikistan to promote eduction, especially for girls. Penniesforpeace.org was started by elementary students in Wisconsin as a way to build schools in remote areas of Afghanistan.
Did you know that in the USA, a penny won’t even buy a piece of gum? In Pakistan, a penny will buy a pencil and a dollar will pay a child’s education for a month! $500 will pay a teacher’s salary for a year! Please go to the website and watch the videos. A great book to read is Listen to the Wind by Greg Mortenson. Mr. Mortenson was the person who began the building of the schools and he continues his work today. Have your child bring in their pennies and we will help build a school for children who have nothing. Thank you for all your help to make this an amazing service project for our second graders!

Our class will be making a basket full of things that you could use for arts and crafts. This could include paints, crayons, paper, scissors, paint brushes, arts/craft kits, and the list goes on. Please be creative and donate to our class basket. Items may be brought in anytime up to November 29th.
The students will be able to purchase small trinkets and vote for their favorite baskets. The money raised will go towards field trips, clubs, and other exciting things!
