February is here!

 The days are getting longer!  Have you noticed?  What a welcome sight!  There is lots going on in Room 6… so please read all of this post…

Valentine’s Day

Next, we hope you saw your child’s Weekly Notice that went home today.  In particular, we need tissue boxes by this Friday to make mailboxes for Valentine’s Day.  Not quite empty? Send it in anyway and we will store the extra tissues!

States of Matter

Last week, thanks to the PTO and all of your generous contributions, we hosted the Acton Discovery Museum with their traveling science program. The students enjoyed the amazing experiments, especially the ones involving dry ice! Here is a group picture:

Public Service Announcements

We are putting the finishing touches on our environmental Public Service Announcements. On Wednesday, we will have our Second Grade Film Festival, which will be the premier of our short movies. Pat Conaway, our environmental expert, will be our special guest.

Two Digit Addition and Subtraction Assessment

Mathematicians in our classroom have been working hard on these computation skills.  The assessment will be given by the end of the week.

Sharing

This month we are sharing about a favorite movie.  A notice went home today with instructions.  Students need to tell me what movie they are doing BEFORE they prepare the information, so that we do not have duplicates.  Sign up early!

Finally, we welcome any questions or feedback you have, anytime.  Stay warm!
