Containers for Bread Day!

 

Parents,

 

 

 

Please remember to send a Cool Whip sized container to school for Bread Day this Friday.  I only have 2 right now! EVERY child needs to have a container to make their bread in.  If we do not have enough containers, we will not be able to participate in Bread Day with the rest of the second grade classes. 

 

Thank you!

Turkeys in Disguise Project

Dear Families,

        Thanksgiving is just around the corner and you know what that means…turkeys everywhere are going into hiding. Yes, that’s right! Turkeys will do just about anything to avoid being your Thanksgiving meal. Help Tom Turkey survive this Thanksgiving by creating a disguise.

        Attached you will find a blank turkey template. Please help this turkey make it safely past Thanksgiving by disguising him through the holiday he fears the most! Turkeys that have made it through in the past have been dressed like ballerinas, football players, farmers, hula dancers, Elvis, snowmen, Spiderman, a princess, Santa, and even one of our second grade teachers, Mrs. Hoschouer!

Your main focus is to dress your turkey in attire that will help him blend in with your family so he will go unnoticed at the Thanksgiving table!

Please have fun and be creative! You may use anything you can think of to decorate. Turkeys in the past have been decorated with crayons, macaroni, craft feathers, tissue paper, wallpaper scraps, dried beans, rice, clothes and shoes cut from newspaper ads, ribbons, fabric scraps, etc. 

Please follow these directions when disguising your turkey:

1. Cut out the turkey

2. Decide how to disguise him

3. Have fun decorating   

Below are examples from turkeys students did last year.  I will post more tomorrow!  You can also check out Mrs. Hoschouer's Website for more examples and ideas - or do a Google search for "Turkeys in Disguise."  Turkeys are due no later than Thursday, November 14, 2013.
 

 

 

Thanks and have fun!

Mrs. Zuniga


 

Promethean Board

Parents,

Our Promethean Board is finally working!  You may have heard a bit about it already. 

We are all learning how it works and how to use it together.  We have run into a few kinks along the way, but have been able to work through them!  Today ActivInspire closed right after the comprehension test and we lost the results... so they got a second chance at the test! 

Here are a few pictures so you can see what it looks like!

This is the Promethean Board:

 

 

 

These are students using the clickers:

 

 

 

Today we used them to take our comprehension test.  We also use them to take surveys that indicate how students feel they are doing on a task.  We then use the survey to adjust our learning targets.

 

Have a great weekend!

 

Mrs. Zuniga

Newsletter and Book Orders

Parents,

"The best laid plans of mice and men..."  I did not complete our email distribution list on time, so our weekly newsletter was sent home in daily folders.  I hope to have the email listed completed by next week! 

I also sent home a Scholastic book order today.  Scholastic is offering a Septemeber special - if 5 students order a copy of "Bucket Filling for Kids" then we will get a free copy for our classroom!  We are implementing Bucket Filling in our classroom this year, and this book would be a great way to extend the idea at home! 

Have a wonderful weekend!

Mrs. Zuniga
