Open House
The students have been working very hard on a lot of projects to prepare for Open House. We are hoping that everyone can stop on by on February 5th from 6:30-8:00. It will be a fun night for your student to show you around their classroom and the school. I am looking forward to seeing everyone and their families!
Mystery Reader
We were lucky enough to have another mystery reader this year. Taylor and Cassidy's grandmother, who was visiting from California came to read to our class and 2F. She read, Pickle and Penguin which was a funny story about two characters that you would never expect to be friends. We hope that she left the warm weather behind with all of us! Thank you again for coming in to be a mystery reader!
Long Sleeve Shirt
Just a reminder that we are asking each second grade student to send a long-sleeve t-shirt to school. We will be using the shirts for Open House and will return them immediately following! Please send the tees to school by Friday, February 1. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to call.

100th Day
Second Grade will be celebrating the 100th Day of School on Tuesday, February 5th! In order to celebrate, we read the story 100 Hungry Ants and discussed all of the possible arrays that could be used to represent 100. We have challenged the second graders to create their own arrays to display 100 objects. The objects could be stickers, cereal, cotton balls, etc. The students have been learning about using arrays to represent multiplication of equal groups, so their objects should be arranged in an array. We would like the students to return their 100 Arrays by February 4th, so that we can display them at Open House! Happy Counting!
Bingo Night
Family Bingo Night will be held on Friday, February 1 in the multi-purpose room. Doors open at 6:15 pm; games begin at 6:30 pm. Bingo cards are $1 to play. Bring the whole family for a fun night and a chance to win!

The Greedy Triangle
To begin our time back at school after break, 2B began investigating 2D Shapes. We began with a lesson called the Greedy Triangle, which is a story about a triangle who becomes unhappy with being a triangle and keeps adding sides and angles to her body. The students were able to manipulate shapes using geoboards and create 2D shapes. We spent the past week working on Reader's Theater plays based on the book. We did such a good job, and we always love the chance to put on a play! Here are a few pictures of our performances!
