We are officially OUT of water bottles so, starting Monday March 1st, the children will need to bring their own. Please send in a filled bottle and, hopefully, that will last until the end of the day. We do have the filling station, but I have told the children we will not be having a steady stream of kids running to it throughout the day.  A filled water bottle at the beginning of the day and refilling once during the day should be sufficient in most cases. Thank you

Tomorrow marks our LAST school day in February. I cannot believe March is already here. Below are a some updates to keep note of:

There are two more days until your valentines are due! If you plan to participate please have your valentines in by Wednesday February 10th.

Our 100th day of school is Friday February 12th. In celebration we are having a 100th day T-shirt competition. Those of you who would like to participate can have your student come to school in their unique 100 themed t-shirt!

You do not have to purchase anything new to make the shirt, you can use an old shirt from home, and 100 items can be glued, sewn, or drawn on the shirt. Some ideas are:
band-aids              buttons                  stickers                   coins
cotton balls           feathers                 googly eyes          legos
photos                   letters                     ribbons                   thumbprints           small toys               craft items
or you can use a marker and draw stars, letters, shapes — anything you like! There are many ideas online. Be creative and have fun.

IF YOU WANT TO CELEBRATE VALENTINE’S DAY:
** Valentines must be in school by Wednesday Feb. 10th (1 week away) As of right now I have 22 students. Please be sure if you’re bringing a valentine there is one for every student. 

**If there is a treat, it must be individually store-wrapped (lollipops, etc.). We cannot accept homemade treats.

I have included the names of my second grade team below! This list will also be going home today with the kiddos. Please let me know if you have any questions
