Just a reminder as Valentine's Day approaches that candy is NOT allowed at school. Students are welcome to exchange valentines but they should be sure to bring one for everyone.There are 22 students in our class. We will be having a little celebration and valentine exchange on the morning of Thursday, February 11th. Please send in healthy snacks to share if you are able.
This week, the 2nd graders will also be observing the Random Acts of Kindness week. We will be doing good deeds all over the school! We are also collecting unopened food, treats, and toys for the cats and dogs at the Humane Society in Truckee.
Last, but not least, we will be attending an assembly this Thursday (1:15) at OVI. It will be our monthly/LP award ceremony followed by attending the Air Band/Mock Rock competition by the students of SVP. It should be lots of fun!
This week in ELA we are wrapping up our unit on Informational Writing: Lab reports, learning about how to find the character's point of view in a story, and working on spelling patterns.

Writing Prompt
This week we are beginning our writing unit on Writing to Inform: Lab Report. Informational Writing has a beginning that introduces the topic, a middle that tells facts and details about the topic and an end that sums up the information. Please have your child write an informational paragraph about how to build a snowman. It should be at least 6 sentences in their best handwriting on lined paper. Thank you!

Please login to i Ready. You should see a red button labeled, “start my lessons”. Please complete one Math and one Language Arts lesson. Thank you!
In closing, I'd also like to remind you that students should be appropriately dressed for the weather and that ALL students need to have a water bottle to keep at school as we do not have cups to offer them should they be thirsty. If your child needs sunscreen, please apply it before they come to school. Thanks so much!
Have a great week!
