The Toucan Squawk, Feb. 10 - 14

Hello families...I hope everyone is having a wonderful week!  We will have our Glitteracy event on Thursday.  Students don't need to bring anything but their Valentine's for our card exchange.  We will rotate to the other 2nd grade classes, where everyone will make a craft in each room.  We'll break for recess, and then we'll complete one last craft in our room.  After lunch and recess, we'll exchange cards, have a snack, and watch a movie.  It should be a super duper fun, yet crazy day!  I included the list of names in the students' mail today.  It's attached to the invite for volunteers for our Glitteracy event.  You are more than welcome to come help!

We started telling time to the hour and half hour yesterday and continued it today with telling time to the 15 minutes.  We'll continue this unit on into next week.  We have worked with individual student clocks and a work paper, and afterwards students have completed work papers by themselves.

The class has started on their new writing craft for this week- describing a piece of gum.  They were all very confused and very excited they got to have a piece of gum in class!  The writing is coming along pretty great, and the crafts are going to look pretty cute once they're up.  They chose their person to do the research on for their biography- everyone went home with a sheet introducing the project to you.  The person your child chose is listed on the bottom.  Everyone has plenty of time, but I've already started on encouraging the kiddos to be thinking of the costume they want to wear for when they present.  This will happen sometime prior to Spring Break.
