I hope you all enjoyed playing in the snow this weekend! If you took pictures out in the snow, please email them to me for use in a project. Thanks a bunch!
It looks like more snow is on the way. IF there is a cancellation of school on Wednesday this week, school WILL BE IN SESSION on Friday as a snow make-up day. IF this is the case, we will move our Valentine’s Day celebration to Friday as well.

Our second graders are being invited to take part in Jump Rope for Heart on February 4th during our PE class. Jump Rope for Heart is a rope-jumping special event program that give children an opportunity to raise funds for the American Heart Association. Collecting pledges for this event is NOT mandatory. Second graders will still have the opportunity to jump during class time even if they do not collect funds for the event.
Your child will bring home a letter from Mr. Binkley outlining this event. Along with the letter is a pledge collection envelope. Please review both of these items today. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to ask!

We had a lot of fun reading Big Bushy Mustache again today. As you can see, we think wearing the mustache when we read is pretty funny! Today we voted for our favorite mustaches and made a graph. We found it interesting that two types were equally popular!
Enjoy our latest slide show made of photos of us wearing our mustaches!

Ryan and Cammy had fun wearing mustaches while they read last night. They emailed in a photo of the fun! Congratulations to Ryan and Cammy for earning wii passes for participating.

We had a blast today reading Big Bushy Mustache by Gary Soto. We even wore our own mustaches today! Tonight your child will bring home this story to read…while wearing his/her mustache. Your child will even have one for you to wear, too!
If you can, take a picture of you reading together while wearing the mustache and email it to me. Thanks for your help!
