2nd Grade Field Trip

On October 10 we will be taking our first field trip of the year to the Kaw Valley Market Butterfly Bio-Villa.  We will be observing butterflies, going through a maze, and picking out a pumpkin!  The cost is $3.00.  Parents are more than welcome to attend but the cost for a parent is $4.00 and $2.00 if you want a pumpkin for yourself.  We are only taking 1 bus so parents attending will need to provide their own transportation.  We will be leaving the school at 10:30 and returning around 2:00.  Please make sure that you get your child's field trip form and money turned in as soon as possible! 

Book Orders

Thanks to the parents that ordered for the September Scholastic Book orders!  They came today and the kids who ordered books are always excited to see the box come.  For every online order the parent receives a $5.00 free book pick coupon and I get $3.00 to spend on the next book order.  Just from this book order our classroom earned $12.00 worth of free money to spend with the next book order.  Watch for these to come home by the end of the week and orders will be due by October 1! 

Snacks!

In 2nd grade we eat lunch super early.  We head to lunch at 10:50.  This makes our afternoons long and the kids are usually really hungry by the time we get ready to go home.  I have been allowing the students to bring healthy snacks that we eat while we are getting ready to go to music.  This has been helping. 

I try to encourage then to bring a healthy snack.  Some good ideas I have seen are fish crackers, cheeze its, string cheese, granola bars, fruit cups, and graham crackers.  Please do not send candy or cookies. 

I try to keep extra snacks on hand for students who not bring snacks.  I do not always have things though.  Parents are more than welcome to send extra boxes of things to help with this.  I appreciate any help I can get.
