Scholastic Magazine: Remember the book orders need to be in the classroom by September 2. Thank you.

Polo Shirts: The Home & School leaders have set up a rack of gently used polo shirts in the school lobby. If you need some shirts for your child, check out the polo shirt exchange. If you have shirts that are too small, bring them to the school so another child could use them.

Remember the school dress code is for the students to wear polo shirts/collared button down shirts or dressier attire. (Girls may wear dresses.)

Math Vocab: We are working on learning vocabulary in math. Ask your student to define addend and sum for you.

Spelling: 2nd graders will begin spelling next week.

Homework: Next Tuesday and Thursday will be homework days. Look for your student to bring a math homework paper on those days.

Nutrition: We are studying about nutrition in science. Could you send an empty wrapper or food container with nutritional information on it on Tuesday morning, September 6. I want the students to view the sugar content in several products. I’m specifically looking for juice, granola bars, cereal, cookies, crackers, etc.
