Geography

Our maps are coming along beautifully! There is more detail to add, but for now we've been focusing on the seven continents and five oceans. We will continue to discuss different landforms, bodies of water, and practice the cardinal directions.

Elf Store!

This past Friday we had our Holiday Elf Store, and what a time we had! The students really showed off their creativity and crafted some fantastic Elf attire. We couldn't have done it without the help of our room moms and parent volunteers, so a big thank you to them.

December Updates and Reminders

Hello Families,

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving break! With parties, events, and conferences this month, we have a busy December ahead of us. Here are some dates to remember:

This week we have storyteller Len Cabral coming in on Thursday (12/4) to share his stories, folktales, and legends with our students.

On Friday (12/5), the second grade will have our Elf Store, where we will buy fabric and decorations to dress our elves. If you have not done so already, please send in 60 cents in a plastic baggie with your child's name on it.

We are starting our geography unit this month focusing on geographical features and maps. Please send in a blue poster board by next week so that we can start building our very own world maps!

Next Thursday (12/11) and Friday (12/12) are parent conferences. Please contact me if you have any conference schedule questions and conflicts. Thursday is a delayed opening and Friday is an early release for students.

Our Holiday Party will be on Monday, December 22nd. More information on that to come :)

We're looking forward to an exciting month!
