Halloween

Springdale School celebrated Halloween today with our parade outside. Then the students danced along with the specialists and administrators. We then went inside for some yummy treats. I hope everyone has an exciting and safe Halloween!

We are going to be down in our temporary quarters in the art room for one more week. But our classroom is looking good!  

Please make sure that your children are reading at least 20 minutes per day!

Bartlett Arboretum

We had a wonderful trip today! The weather was perfect. Todd gave us great experiences in the classroom and outside. We observed different types of seeds and learned how seeds travel. Then we walked through the arboretum to see some different types of trees. 

Field trip tomorrow!

We're going to the Bartlett Arbotetum tomorrow.

Remember to give your child a bag lunch.

Pictures will be posted later tomorrow.

Fire safety

Today the Deputy Fire Marshal came to give the second graders a talk on home fire safety. Ask your child what rules they learned!

Then the children got to meet a firefighter in his gear and sit in a fire truck!

Sprint

Warming up for the sprint. We had a great time! Thanks to all of you who came to cheer us on!

Date correction

I'm sorry. I gave you the wrong date for the rescheduled sprint. It is Wednesday but Wednesday is the 14th, not the 16th. 

Picture day is this Friday. That's the 16th!

Construction

We will be relocated for the next 2 to 3 weeks so that we can have WALLS built!

We are the first classroom, along with Mrs. Karpowich to have our open classroom space closed in to a traditional model.

Your children and I will be using Mrs. Ramsey's art room while construction is ongoing.

Don't forget that the Sprint has been rescheduled for Wednesday the 16th 

Your child should be reading at least 20 minutes every night in addition to doing their math homework. 

Enjoy the three day weekend!

Springdale sprint update

The Springdale Sprint has been cancelled due to rain!!!!

Rain date is next Wednesday, October 16.

Open House

Thank you to all who came to Open House. It was wonderful to see you. 

This coming Friday is the Springdale Sprint. Come cheer us on as we run to raise money for our terrific PTO who,in turn, use it for various programs and field trips for our students.

Mrs. Manna announced at Open House that the construction project to put up walls in our open space has finally been given the go ahead. Despite the fact that I had a note to myself near the computer that evening I forgot to mention it. I apologize. The big news for us is that our room and Mrs. Karpowich are being done first! Therefore, we will be relocated to Room 17 for about 3 weeks beginning the day after  Columbus Day. I have not yet told the class. We'll be telling them later in the week. More updates on this are coming.
