Student Council and the PE Department are hosting a Food Drive through a program called "Creekside Cares". If your family can spare any non-perishable food items, we would greatly appreciate it. All of the food collected will be donated to other Grand Prairie families in need. This food drive will run through next Friday, September 14th. The class that collects the most food items, we be rewarded with an extra PE class! This food drive is an excellent example of one of the many ways your child can show citizenship. We've been learning all about being good citizens in social studies and now we have a real-life opportunity to act on it. Encourage your child to be a good citizen by helping others in need.
Today the class was introduced to another positive reward system, "Award-Winning Behavior". Any time the whole class is being an excellent example of positive behavior, I will award them with a blue ribbon. The ribbons will then be displayed on our white board for everyone to see. When the class earns ten ribbons, they will be rewarded with a class celebration. We've already earned TWO ribbons!! Wow, our class is awesome! :)
The sight words for this week are: other, which, children, their. Remember that your child is expected to correctly read, spell, and write all second grade sight words. We will have a quiz over these four words on Friday. For homework tonight, your child needs to rainbow write his/her sight words in the spiral homework notebook. In addition, he/she needs to choose a minimum of two choice activities to complete.
Last Friday your child brought home his/her September Homework Calendar. The expectations are a minimum of 15 calendar activities and twenty minutes of nightly reading. I will be collecting all reading logs and homework calendars at the end of the month.
Finally, I want to let you know that this Thursday, September 6th is Spirit Day. The whole school will be participating in "Hawaiian Day"! Bust out those grass skirts and leis for a day of fun.
