ZOO Field Trip Friday, Nov. 18th

We will be taking our first field trip to the zoo the Friday before Thanksgiving break ( 11/18/11). The San Diego Zoo field trip is free for all 2nd grade students in San Diego County. Our bus will be paid for by the money raised from our  2nd grade recycling program.  I have added a fun website for the kids under Science or you can click on this zoo link.

* I have had more parent requests to go with us than places for chaperons. I can’t take any more parents, sorry.

No Homework Tues 9/20

Today we were not able to complete our 5-3 work, so I did not send home the math homework. Look for it tomorrow. We are taking the district Math and district language arts tests through Friday. Please be sure to have them eat breakfast and get plenty of sleep so they can do their best. These tests help me to know what we need to reteach to students. The next 2 weeks will be our Fall Break. I will not be sending home much , if any, homework. If you would like work for your child, please email me and I can put something together.
