     We had our first writing celebration with our fifth grade warrior buddies from Mr. Brady's class.  They came to our classrooms and listened to us read our books to them.  Then they told us what they liked about our writing.  We even had cookies!  Nice work second graders on your small moments writing!  I'm proud of your hard work.

We finished addition with and without regrouping with 2-digit numbers this week and started a new topic, subtracting 2-digit numbers.

Please return the report card envelopes signed on the trimester one line right away.  You may keep the papers inside.

Jeb's grandpa came and shared his native  American artifacts with us.   Read more about it and see pictures on the blog.

     If you have any beads, sequins, yarn, or similar crafty items that you would like to donate for a class holiday project we would love to have them!  Please send them in by Thanksgiving so we have plenty of time to work.

      Next week is a three day school week due to Thanksgiving.  Have a great holiday with your family.
