Thanksgiving Reader's Theater

The Meal Must Go On - Reader's Theater 2nd Graders

Click on the link above to watch Mr. Richter's class perform "The Meal Must Go On". I have been meaning to put this on here for a bit. Hope you enjoy! We had a lot of fun!

On Monday, we are starting our Christmas Around the World unit in Social Studies. For the next three and a half weeks, we will be “traveling” all over the world leaning about how different countries celebrate the holidays. We will be getting passports and suitcases that the children will be taking with them throughout the unit. Each day, students will get their plane ticket punched as they board the plane to travel to the ”country of the day”. We will also be sampling foods from different countries, playing games from different countries, and doing lots of different crafts. Watch for a note to come home soon about this special day. :) I'm really looking forward to it.

Thanksgiving and Frienship Soup

Thanks to all the families who brought in items to make our "Friendship Soup" happen. The kids enjoyed eating soup and eating the pumpkin pie! :) I hope everyone had a Happy Thanksgiving!

Halloween Party was a blast!

Thanks to the families of the students who signed up to bring treats for the class today! The kids were so excited to be in their costumes, do a craft project with their reading buddies, and have fun during the Halloween Party! I hope everyone enjoyed trick-or-treating!

Halloween Party (Wednesday Oct. 31st)

Halloween party details with attached note that students should have brought home with them :)

Dear Parents and Guardians, 

On Wednesday, October 31^st, we will be having our classroom Halloween parties.    We will be participating in a variety of Halloween activities and then have our yummy snacks and watch a Halloween video in our classroom.

Please send your child’s costume to school in a bag marked with their name (We will be changing after lunch).  Just a reminder that costumes need to be school appropriate, therefore no blood or weapons will be allowed.  Due to time constraints, we will be unable to apply special make-up, hair color, etc.

To help out with snacks for parties this year I am asking for volunteers to supply some goodies for each party.  Please let me know if you are unable to help at this time so that I am able to make other arrangements.

Thanks for making our celebration a spooky good time!

Mr. Richter J
