There are so many announcements to make this week!  For starters, our 1st book orders of the school year are due on Monday.  The website for ordering books is scholastic.com/readingclub and the activation code is HBGWB.

Also, our 2nd grade classroom is in need of a comfy, colorful, large carpet for a gathering place to meet and discuss our love of books.  There will be an article in the October newsletter that gives more information, however, I have taken a step that will hopefully help us get closer to our goal (funding) which is needed so that we can enjoy and put this tool to use for the remainder of the school year.  Our classroom need is posted on a website that allows others to view projects that are needed in public schools around the country.  If you would like to check this site out please go to:     http://www.donorschoose.org/ajhula .

   

Another upcoming event is our school carnival.  There is a letter that is going home today that gives more information about what we can do to help ensure that this year’s festivities are a huge success.  I honestly do not know what we would do without the Hartem Community Club because many of the fun activities that our students are able to enjoy throughout the year are because of them!  Please be sure to check out this letter which is attached through the following link:   school carnival[1] .

Also, we cannot forget next week’s spelling words which are given below:

very       after       things       our      just       girl       dirt       shirt       third       thirst       birth      system       produce       consume       life       cycle

I am looking forward to another fantastic week in 2nd grade!!!
