Animal Reports

It’s time for our ANIMAL REPORTS, ANIMAL POWER POINTS, and DIORAMAS!  Your child will be bringing home today information for their ANIMAL RESEARCH PAPER.  Please have them complete this and return it before March 15 so that they will have enough time to finish their animal power points.  More information on the  dioramas will be sent home soon (they will be due in April).  
Remember, this is 2nd grade so there shouldn’t be any words in their paper that they can’t pronounce.  Also, and I will remind  them as well, not to copy directly from a web site or book (that’s plagiarism 🙁  )  
This is a fun unit and I look forward to seeing their hard work.  I will also be having 2 presentation days when they will present their power points to all the parents.

If you have questions, please let me know!  Unknown

SALT DOUGH MAPS

Good morning!  Next week we will be making Salt Dough Maps to tie in with our STEM Project and our Mapping Unit.   Please have your child bring in a piece of cardboard (at least 9″ x 9″) as a backing for their map.  We will be painting this on Monday and begin the map making on Tuesday.  If they don’t have their piece of Cardboard Monday, they will be behind.  Thank you for your help in this!   Poster board is also usable.

Missing School Badges

We are hoping to get some help with an issue we are having at the school regarding missing name badges. As stated in our Handbook, “Everyone is required to wear their name badge to attend class (the name badge must be that of the current school year). Please reinforce having name badges as they create a safer environment at the school. To replace a lost name badge, your child will need to pay $5.00 for a new one. A student without a name badge will be referred to the office to call home. Parents/Guardians will be expected to bring their child’s name badge or pay $5.00 for a replacement. Only then will students be allowed to return to class.” Elementary students are to leave their name badges in their classrooms at the end of the day. Jr. High students are encouraged to leave their name badges in their lockers before leaving. To ensure your child receives a full day’s worth of learning in the classroom, please make sure their name badge is left at school and returned the following day if accidentally taken home. Please note, that you have this week as a grace period to either find your child’s lost name badge or replace it for $5.00. Starting Tuesday, January 16 (one week from today), students who do not have name badges will not be attending class until a new one is purchased or their old one is returned. If parents are working when their children call, they are more than welcome to either pay for a badge using a credit card over the phone or to pay online.
