We ask that each student bring in a pair of new, and fun wrapped holiday socks to exchange with another student in second grade. The hope is that after the exchange that all the kids wear their new socks to school the following day. We have much testing in December, so we are trying to bring a lot of fun into the classrooms the last week of December. In addition, to the sock exchange we will have a cookie exchange. If you would like to donate a package of unopened store bought cookies for the cookie exchange, please donate on Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday of that last week before Winter break. Camelot Giving Tree For the holidays, second grade is collaborating with kindergarten and fifth grade to sponsor kids for the Camelot Giving Tree. Second grade is focusing on the spirit of the holidays and how important giving back is in the community. We feel regardless of religious beliefs, the message of helping those in need is important for all children to learn. Sign up to bring an unwrapped gift below. All gifts are due back to school by December 15th. www.SignUpGenius.com/go/4090B4DAFA72CA31-camelot Homework Reminder Due to the amount of end of the year testing, we are not taking any more spelling tests or giving any math homework until after the Winter break. We will be giving our students time in the classroom to work on math homework and we will have review centers for spelling. If your child needs extra practice, please take advantage of mobymax.com or xtramath.com for reading, math, and comprehension help. Holiday Program Needs Donations Our Holiday program will be on December 16th, and more information will come at a later date.

We are requesting that felt material be in brown, black, or white. Howdy Families!

Uniform bottoms are a must. I can't wait to see what the students will come in with! - There is NO math test tomorrow. We've postponed it until Tuesday, December 13th. Practice tests will go home tomorrow afternoon. - If you need me to pick up the donations for the Holiday Celebration (felt and a headband) please make sure you send in $2 with your child by tomorrow! - Kona ice is tomorrow.
