Second Grade News January 4th - 8th

Hello Second Grade Families,

Welcome to 2010! We hope you all had a relaxing and peaceful Christmas vacation. We are happy to be back at work and eager to teach your children again! We are looking forward to a successful and happy second trimester together. Hope you are too!

Please note:
Mrs. Sederstrom will NOT be returning to the 2nd grade classroom. We are currently searching for her replacement. Ms. Solari will be filling in for her this week and we are hopeful that we will have our new teacher up and running next week. I will continue to work my normal schedule of Monday, Tuesday, and every other Friday. Please call or send an e-mail if you have any questions or concerns. I will happy to help you!

Reminders:
Please remember that students are responsible for copying down their spelling words into their Student Agenda each week. The page this week is p. 61. Words are posted on the blog on Mondays and tests are always on Fridays.
