Classroom News September 29, 2017


Dear Families,

Can you believe the first month of school is over?  It was certainly an exciting one.  This week brought the beginning of project class.  Second graders returned to homeroom from their first project class with smiling faces and an excitement for learning. 

Wednesday is our first field trip.  We neglected to put a space for chaperone sign up on the permission slip. We are hoping for at least 5 adults to come with us to the pumpkin patch.  If you are interested email me soon.  It is a very exciting day for the second grade students. Please share it with us.  

In homeroom this week we used paper mache to create our volcanoes. We learned about the magma chamber, volcanic vents, and how lava becomes new land and rock.  In the upcoming weeks we will paint and then erupt our volcano creations!  Thank you Dave for helping us complete 26 miniature volcano models.

Thank you to everyone who attended curriculum night. If you were unable to attend all handouts went home in the Friday folder.  If you signed up to volunteer this year you can begin coming to room 13 next week. However, if you signed up for Wednesday keep in mind we have fieldtrips October 4th and October 11th so we will not need in class help.

Homework Update: I hope everyone received the rock collection homework assignment. Have fun choosing the perfect rocks to send to school next week.  Please be sure to leave valuable rocks at home.

Finally, I have updated the blog with photographs from the last couple of weeks.  Be sure to take a look! You can find us at http://classroomlink.blogspot.com
