Parents, Don't forget Parent Teacher Chat Night is almost here! I look forward to meeting with you this Wednesday and Thursday:) It will be nice to have a chance to visit with you about your child:)
Also, my first attempt at blended learning has been posted; I hope everyone gets a chance to view my video before we meet. I am hoping to post a link to the video on this blog, though the technology aspect of this is still a work in progress for me. If I have a parent that might be able to help me with this please let me know.
Coming up next week you will begin hearing a lot about butterflies as we begin our butterfly unit in Science. We have butterfly larva being sent that will be here on September 3. This is one of the most exciting science units in second grade. We will be able to watch the larva as it goes through its entire lifecycle, and hopefully will get the chance to see a butterfly emerge from its chrysalis. In social studies we will begin working on our communities unit. Although not as exciting as our butterfly unit it will provide us with the opportunity to learn more about Lawrence, and the North Lawrence community, and to work in groups on a couple of fun projects.

Welcome Back to School
Hello second grade families,
In an effort to make communication with parents easier I have created a class blog that I am going to use to post class information. You are receiving a hard copy of the first blog post for the current year. I am also emailing you with the link to view my blog, so please let me know if you do not receive an email with the link so we can work to find out where the problem is.
Please rest assured that I will not be posting any names, or pictures of students. This blog will only be used as a communication tool. When important information is posted onto the blog you will receive an email notice from me. Other occasional posts may be made without notification, so feel free to check for updates at any time. If you have any questions please let me know:)
Also, since I have some very hungry kiddos around 10:30 we will be having snack at this time right after specials. I am going to send home a snack calendar, which will start in September, and assign each student one day a month to bring a healthy snack to share. Ideas would include: Cheese It's, vanilla wafers, graham crackers, grapes etc. Please do not worry if you are unable to bring a snack for any reason. I will keep some extras on hand in the room:) The worst that will happen is we might miss a day or so of snack:) We currently have 14 students, so just about anything you send will provide snack for more than one day.
Don't forget Parent/Teacher Chat Nights are next week, please return your confirmation slip as soon as possible. If you need a different time please let me know, we will find a time that will work for you:)
