This and That

• Friday will be Picture Retake Day. Be sure to return your previous picture package if your child is doing retakes.  
• Our Book Fair began on Wednesday. Books always make for great gifts or stocking stuffers so check out the Book Fair if you are able! A percentage of the Book Fair money collected is given back to our school to purchase additional books for our library.
• If you have not yet signed up for my classroom blog, please do. It is quick access to what is going on in the classroom and throughout the school. If you sent back the form from earlier in the year, I have signed you up but you need to accept the request from Feedburner. My blog will then be sent directly to your email so you don't have to go into my classroom webpage or wait until my newsletter is sent home. 
• Second graders were informed of the Battle of the Books a couple weeks ago. This is a great opportunity to have your child read some great books and work with a partner to answer questions about each story. They have from now until early February to read. Any questions about Battle of the Books let Mrs. Kath or myself know.
