We are enjoying our time conferencing with you and your 2nd grader! They have made some excellent goals and we look forward to the growth they will make this year.
Last week, students learned about the artist Henri Rousseau and his paintings of jungles.
We looked at the types of greens he made by mixing blue and yellow. We noticed the animals he liked to hide in the leaves. Then we painted our own leaf scene withourselves hidden in the picture!
Ask your 2nd grader about the drama game we played today... it is called, "family portrait". We took some great family portraits.
This week we began our first weekly homework packet and our first spelling list. Our first test is this Thursday. The coversheet for the homework is due next Monday.
This Wednesday, students are to practice their math facts as their math homework. Please let us know if you have any problems logging on to xtramath.org. Each child needs to know their PIN. These were sent home last week, but we can happily send it home again if you need us to.
Your child brought home a flyer about the Reflections Art Program today. All entries are due to the office by Oct. 26th. We hope all of our great artists enter this contest. Remember, students can also enter a piece of writing, a photograph, a musical composition, video, or a dance.
QUEST: If you are interested in applying to the district's highly capable program, applications are due to the district office until 4 p.m. on October 30, 2012.
Volunteers start next week! Thank you to all our terrific volunteers! And a big thank you to all of you... we had 100% participation in the dance marathon!!
