Wow, can you believe all of this snow? Simply amazing!

Because of the snow days, we will now be in session on Friday, March 19 and Thursday, April 1. Please make a note of it on your calendars. I will also remind you closer to the time.

When we return to school on Tuesday, it will be Day 6. We will have our spelling and math test on Tuesday, so be sure to practice a little over the weekend.

So what stories can you share from your snow adventure? Leave a comment and let me know what you are up to. Email me a picture or two and we can post them here to share with friends! Have fun and be safe.

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.

Wow! Our class raised $405 for Jump Rope for Heart!

Way to go second grade. I am so proud of you.
We had a blast jumping during PE today. We jumped with Mrs. Drexel’s first grade class and had a great time. Thank you for all your support with this great event.

TOMORROW is our class’ Jump Rope for Heart event! Please make sure that your child is dressed in comfortable clothing and is wearing sneakers for this event. It is encouraged that each student brings a water bottle to school for this event.
If your child raised money for this great cause, please have him/her bring the envelope and donations to school tomorrow.
Thank you for your support with this event!

FRIDAY is our next spirit day. Friday is “Favorite Team Day!” Show your school spirit by wearing your favorite team colors or jersey. Any sport, any team – just as long as it is your favorite!
