2nd Grade Information
HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Charlotte Fuller-Winkels on October 28 and to Claire Stier on November 2!
PICTURE RETAKES are Tuesday, Oct Please return all previous pictures, uncut.
AR TREATS: If you would like to donate AR treats that would be wonderful. Please be sure the treat are individually wrapped. Students receive a treat with a passing score of 80 or more. (We read and test whether we have treats or not.) Thank you!!
GINGERBREAD HOUSES: The custom of building gingerbread houses comes from Germany. When the second grade studies different holidays around the world, the second grade builds gingerbread houses. Each child is asked to have an adult help them construct their gingerbread houses. The is adult may be a mom, dad, grandpa, grandma, aunt, uncle, etc. The day we build the gingerbread houses will be on Friday, November 30th. We are letting people know in case people need to take the day off. More information about the gingerbread houses will come at a later date. If you can not make it that day, please let us know. We have many community people that love coming in to help with this project.
PARENT-TEACHER CONFERENCES will be Monday, November 12 from 4:00-8:00 pm and Thursday, November 15 from 4:00-8:00 pm. Please sign up using the slip that came home, or go online to the school web gm.k12.mn.us. Scroll down to the very bottom on the left hand side.
