😇ALL SAINTS DAY: On Thursday, October 28th, St. Francis will celebrate this special feast day with Mass at 8:30am and a parade and class parties beginning at 1:15pm. Grades K-2 will come to school dressed with their saints costumes OVER their uniform so they can process in at the start of Mass. We will then return to the classroom and change out of our costumes to continue our school day. Around 12:40, students will change back into their costumes to prepare for the parade at 1:15pm. Our second graders are encouraged to select a saint they have not yet been, as this experience will also be a learning one. The Archangels, Mother Mary, and St. Nicholas are to be avoided, as the Archangels are NOT saints, and Mother Mary and St. Nicholas are two of the most well-known saints. Students, please have your saint name picked by the end of this week so we can begin working on our research next week! This is your child's final year participating as a dressed saint, so we hope all parents are able to attend Mass and/or the parade! Thank you to our room moms for planning and organizing a wonderful first party for our students!
🏕️OCTOBER'S BOOK BASH: In Second Grade, we love to read! This month’s Book Bash celebration is called Reading Camp Out! On Friday, October 30th, students are to bring a blanket and flashlight to read their favorite books under the stars, while they enjoy a yummy s’mores snack! In order for your child to be able to participate in the Book Bash, he/she must read 15 minutes M-F, OR for a total of 330 minutes, and have a parent sign the reading log. All teacher-assigned reading must be logged as well. Parents, please total your children’s logs. If you would like to help with this month’s Book Bash, we need graham crackers, large marshmallows, and Hersey chocolate bars sent to our room no later than Thursday, October 29th. Thank you for helping your child develop a love of reading!
📝PARENT/TEACHER CONFERENCES: As the end of the first 9 weeks draws near (10/19), Mrs. Moore and I will be begin scheduling parent/teacher conferences. Later this week, a sign-up sheet will be sent home to the families of students we would like to meet with at this time. A Remind message will be sent the day the notices go home, so please check your child's folder. Mrs. Moore and I meet with our families as a team since we both spend our days with your children. With 48 second graders, we do not have time to meet with every family. If your child does not receive a sign-up form, your child does not need a conference at this time. Conference times will be spread throughout a two-week span which includes the designated Parent/Teacher Conference date of 10/26. Please return your form as soon as possible to ensure all requested meetings are scheduled. Thank you!
🍿SNACK DONATIONS: As a reminder, students are to pack a healthy snack each day, one that is easy to eat (mess-free) as we continue to work while we snack. Donations are greatly appreciated as we often have boys and girls that do not bring snacks. Cheez-Its and Gold Fish are fan favorites! Thank you .

🟩📓GREEN FOLDERS & ASSIGNMENT BOOKS: Second graders will bring these two items to and from school every day. We take time each afternoon to write down our assignments (which are teacher-verified with my initial). Green folders are labeled left side "Take Out" and right side "Return." Papers on the left side are to be removed and papers on the right side are to be returned to school. Parents, please be sure to check your children's assignment books AND green folders each night so that you're aware of what's taking place in the classroom each day. We also encourage parents to review the homework assignments before sending them back to school, as most of the assignments will be graded. Thank you!
🍿SNACK DONATIONS: As a reminder, students are to pack a healthy snack each day, one that is easy to eat (mess-free) as we continue to work while we snack. Donations are greatly appreciated as we often have boys and girls who do not bring snacks. Cheez-Its, Pretzels, and Goldfish are fan favorites! Thank you for your generosity!
