The Lifetouch Photographer will be here Tuesday for school picture make-ups. Retake pictures are only for those students who were absent on picture day or who purchased a picture packet on picture day and would like their pictures retaken. If you purchased a picture packet on picture day and would like your child's school picture retaken, please send me an email for more details.
Hour of Code
Hour of Code is back and will be during the week of December 5th. Your child will be completing the Hour of Code at school during Computer Lab time on Wednesday and then 30 minutes on Thursday. They are also able to continue working on it at home, if they would like to.
If your child would like to complete the Hour of Code at home, the link is https://hourofcode.com/us/learn
If you would like more information about the Hour of Code, please visit the website.
What is Hour of Code?
The Hour of Code started as a one-hour introduction to computer science, designed to demystify "code", to show that anybody can learn the basics, and to broaden participation in the field of computer science. It has since become a worldwide effort to celebrate computer science, starting with 1-hour coding activities but expanding to all sorts of community efforts. Check out the tutorials and activities. This grassroots campaign is supported by over 400 partners and 200,000 educators worldwide.
Gingerbread Houses
Our class will be making individual gingerbread houses on Tuesday, December 20th from 10:00-11:30. I am looking for parents to come in and help out with this activity. If you are interested in coming in to help out with this fun event, please return the bottom portion of this page.
Each student needs to bring in one can of vanilla frosting and at least one unopened candy treat (no peanuts) to share and put on the gingerbread houses. The more items sent in, the better the gingerbread houses will look! Some candy treats might include: Gumdrops, M&M’s plain, Peppermints, Skittles, Hershey Kisses, Pretzels, Cereals, Mini Candy Canes, and Licorice bites.
We will also need boxes of plain graham crackers. Graham crackers will need to be sent in by Tuesday, December 13th so I can start putting the gingerbread houses together.
Students can bring in frosting and candy treats anytime between now and Friday, December 16th. Please contact me if you have any questions or concerns.
Holidays Around the World
On Wednesday, December 21, we will have our Holidays Around the World activities. We will be doing this during school hours and in our classrooms. It will be run by the 2nd grade teachers; therefore, no volunteers will be needed.
Winter Break
Winter Break will be from Thursday, December 22, to Monday, January 2nd. School will be back in session on Tuesday, January 3rd.
