March (Reading) Madness!

Dear Parents,
Wow!  Our March Madness Reading program has started with a bang!  
As of today, our top three groups are.....Best of the Best has 22 pts, Reading Machines with 19 pts, and Reading Stars with 16!  We won't be taking our official tally until next Monday, but we can tell how excited our class is to read, read, read!

Congratulations to Faith, who came in 2nd in the All-2nd-Grade Spelling Bee!!    Way to go!
We are back to our regular spelling lists and systems. This week, there is no challenge list. Look for the challenge list next week.

Last week, we studied the artwork of Dr. Seuss (in celebration of his birthday!) and created our own 3D Seuss-like sculpture inspired by the place we are researching in our community. The sculptures turned out really nicely. Mrs. Frazier even came in and watched us at work. She complimented the class on their problem solving skills and how well they all work together to help each other out.

We had a fun assembly today all about inventions.   We learned about the toys of giants and the big ideas of science:  force, energy, properties, systems, motion, technology, investigations, and .... fun!
This ties perfectly with our science unit about balance and motion!


Are you interested in helping out at Sandburg in a more official position?  The PTA Nominating Committee is seeking volunteers to fill the positions on our PTSA Board. We are looking for parents who want to support our school by leading an outstanding PTA.   I know we have several wonderful parents who would be great at one of the board position.  Please contact Jenny Lara-West  jennywest93@hotmail.com , if interested.
