100 Day is coming up! Next Wednesday, please make sure your student shows up at school! It's worth thousands of dollars per student to the school. If need be, have your student check in late and leave, but please don't miss this important day. There will be a special free lunch served, music, P.E., buddy reading, and games.

Due 1/15: Read one grade level book and fill out the Bookman's contest form. It must be signed by a guardian. This reading time can also double as reading log time. You know a book is at your level if you can read a page without finding 5 words that you don't know how to read. Pick a page from the middle of your book that has about as many words as the other pages in the book to test this. Try to pick a book in which you find 1-4 words that you don't know how to read. There will be no additional homework on Wednesday or Thursday.

due 1/8: Draw and color a parrot. Include 4 toes on each foot, and a curved beak. On the back, write one thing you've learned about parrots. This assignment was started in class. (:

Wednesday, January 6th is a $1 dress down day (:

Homework for Tuesday and Wednesday is to review the over 300 spelling words for the 2nd grade spell-off. We had a practice spell-off in class, and you've had all of these words before. Study hard!

Do the Bookman's challenge. Read and record all the books you can to win a field trip, and maybe even $15,000.00 to spend on our school!

The Daddy Daugther Dance is coming up soon. Buy your tickets by the 11th. I took Audrey last year, and we had so much fun!

Even if you're not coming back next year, please fill out the re-enrollment form and send it back as soon as possible. Thanks (: We hope you're coming back!

Happy New Year! It's so good to be back with all my students!
