Hurray! The Blog is Back!

   Let's try it again!

  Saturday was Groundhog's Day and Phil didn't see his shadow! Ask your child what that means. We spent a lot of time on Groundhogs and their habits. They are cute as can be.
  February is a seriously busy, busy month for 2nd grade! First of all the entire month is "Love of Reading Month". We will be reading as many books as we can in class and charting our progress with a multitude of hearts posted in our window. Don't forget Science Projects are due on the 8th. We will be presenting them all day.  We are also having a contest to see who can read the most minutes at home in the lower grade levels.  The prize is an awesome little bike.
 We will be having a Valentine's Party at the end of the day on the 14th. Healthy fruits and snacks only. Remember, Rodeo Weekend starts on the 21st. The 20th is Grandparent's Day. Please invite Grandmas and Grandpas in that day. Finally, February 28th is our field trip to the Sonoran Desert Museum. We love volunteers and need them. Please return field trip forms as soon as possible.
  Because Love of Reading Week is soon( Feb10-15), I could use some readers! Please email me to set up a time to come and read to our class if you would like. Bring your own book or use one of mine!
  So take a deep breath and get ready for a busy and short 2nd grade month
