Welcome 2019-2020 2nd Grade Families

Welcome to our classroom blog.  Here you will find information and photographs of what we are doing in class this year.  This is a wonderful opportunity to peak into the world of 2nd grade,
in room 13.  I will try to do a new post at least once per month.  ~DVD

Classroom News, October 19 & Volcanic Eruption Photographs

-->

Dear Families,

What an exciting day.  We erupted our volcanoes today.  It was very exciting. Please scroll down to view the excitement!  I also added a couple of photos from Library.  We are such readers in 2nd grade!

In other news:

Halloween is fast approaching. If you are interested in volunteering to help with a harvest celebration Wednesday, October 31^st please email me at

dubois_d@4j.lane.edu.  Our celebration will be 1:15-2:15 depending on the activities planned.  Students are allowed to wear costumes the morning of Halloween for our annual serpentine parade.  It is expected they change into normal clothes after the parade if their costume will disrupt classroom activities.  Please do not allow your child to bring toy weapons or masks with their costume.  Also, costumes should be appropriate enough to not scare a kindergartener.  Some kids do not enjoy dressing up.  It is a choice and if your child does not want to dress up, that is perfectly fine.

The week of Halloween students will be in homeroom classes all afternoon due to project classes ending October 26^th.  Room 13 students have decided it would be fun to create models of castles.  We are in need of shoeboxes and paper towel rolls.  We need 23 shoeboxes and 120 paper towel rolls.  Start saving please!!!

In your child’s Friday folder this week is you scheduled conference time.  Please let me know as soon as possible if this time does not work for your family.  Conferences are a wonderful way to connect about goals you have for your child this year.  Also in the Friday folder this week is our first book orders of the year. Supporting book orders allows me get classroom books for free.  Please order online. My teacher code is on the back of the order form.  Online ordering keeps loose money from getting lost at school.  

Mark your calendars for Wednesday, November 21^st. Both second grade classes are going to the Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art.  The students will tour the art museum and participate in an art experience. 

Finally, thank you to parents who are sending in class snack.  It is really helpful.  You are very much appreciated.  

Thank you,
