Veterans Day Request

I would love to have my students write thank you letters to Veterans for Veteran's Day. Do you know a veteran that our students can write to? If we get enough names, we can ask the other 2nd grade classes to join us. The more Veterans that get letters the better! I would also need to know if the letter can be hand delivered to the Veteran or if it needs to be mailed. If it needs to be mailed please provide us with an address.

Please email me by Wednesday, November 6th if you have a Veteran in mind that would like to get a letter from a 2nd grader! Also include the address if we need to mail it.

WE HAVE WORMS!!

With the help of the Hendricks County Solid Waste Management Company, we have red worms in our classroom. We touched, held, and observed the little buggers and now we'll watch as they begin to make compost for us.

Parent Teacher Conferences

I am so grateful that I could meet/talk with every one of you this week. It truly shows a commitment to your child's education and I know that when we form a partnership (to include your child), we can make great things happen!

Have an awesome break!

Parent Teacher Conferences, Navy donations

Reminders for conferences went home last Friday with your day and time. If you cannot attend, please email me and we'll set up a time to meet if possible.


If you are able to help with our Navy project, please send in items from the list your child took home. Also, I checked to see if microwave popcorn is allowed and it is!!

Have a great week everyone!

2nd GRADE SERVICE LEARNING PROJECT-only 2 weeks.....

Dear 2^nd Grade Families,

            The 2^nd grade team would like to ask you to help us with a service learning project that we are undertaking for the US Navy sailors that will be deployed this holiday on the USS Truman (Mrs. Adams’ son is on this aircraft carrier).

            We would like to participate in an effort called “Navy for Moms Holiday Project” to send goodie bags to the sailors who will be away this year during the holidays.  Below is a copy of their flyer and a list of acceptable items. We are also accepting any monetary donations to help with shipping costs.  Students may bring in any of these items up until Fri., Nov. 1.  We will have opportunities for those students who would like to help assemble the bags during a couple recess times the beginning of November.

            Thank you for your support in this project!

                                                                                    Sincerely,

                                                                                    The 2^nd Grade Teachers 

 

Navy for Moms Holiday Project

The group is attempting to send 8,000 goodie bags to servicemen and women that will be deployed during the Christmas and Holiday Season.

 

Below is a suggested list of acceptable items:

Loofas-the guys liked them as much as the ladies	Travel size hygiene items-shampoo, conditioner, body soap, deodorant, lotion, toothpaste, toothbrushes, hand sanitizer, etc
Slim jims/beef jerky	Personal size packages disinfectant wipes
Sugar free gum	Candy(not chocolate)
Chapstick	Individually wrapped snack crackers, Oreos, animal crackers
Fruit snacks	Granola bars
Writing cards	Hot cocoa packet/individual coffee packets
Mio/individual powder drink mixes	Sandwich size baggies
·         This is just a list of suggestions. Any kind of individual item will be very greatly appreciated
·         Items that DO NOT fare well are any large bottles of shampoo, lotion, hand sanitizer (they leaked and soaked into the candy and other items. Also, any shelled pistachios or sunflower seeds – the shells are a hazard to the jet engines.

We will be shipping all the bags out the beginning of November to the USS Harry S. Truman. We need to have all items and money collected by Fri., Nov. 1.   THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT!!!
