Odds and Ends

We are having our popcorn party (that we won from the PTA for box tops) on Wednesday, 12/18/13, in the afternoon.  The kiddos can wear their pajamas/sweats/etc. as long as they are school appropriate.
They wrote a card with this information on it.  I need your signature on that card so that I know you have acknowledged the fact that we are watching a "G" rated movie. The movie hasn't been decided on yet.

Christmas Program is Friday, 12/20/13, at 9:00 and 1:45.  They are performing 2 songs.

And the WINNERS ARE....

It was so great to visit with you last week at conferences!!! Thank you for all you do for your children. You are their first and most important teacher and you do make a difference!!!

We are reviewing 2nd Grade No Excuse Words this week and there won't be a test on Friday. It's important that your child spells these words in every day writing, not just memorize them one time and forget them.
