Good Morning Parents,
I hope you had a WONDERFUL Thanksgiving Holiday! Our 2nd grade Fall Feast was a big success, thanks to the participation of all of you. The food and company were both fabulous, and I know the kids had a great time.
Here are some reminders for the following weeks:
On Tuesday, November 29, the Egypt project descriptive paper is due. This is the paper about a worshipper requesting a favor from the God/Goddess.
On Wednesday, November 30, we will visit the Morrison Library. Please send all books to be returned, along with a sturdy bag for your child to hold his/her new books.
On Tuesday, December 6, ALL parts of the Egypt project are due. Presentations will begin. Please send all parts of the project to school with your child. If you wish to watch the presentation, let me know and we'll schedule a time.
Friday, December 9, is a half school day for students. Dismissal will be at 11:25. I will be at the Mock Trial Competition, and Ms. Jones will be our substitute.
I think that's all the news for now.
Have a great weekend!
Kathy Moschel

Weekly Update: November 21 - December 2
Good Morning Parents,
We had another busy week, culminating in a whole-school assembly where Dr. Peine unveiled a banner about our school being a nationally recognized Blue Ribbon School. I am very proud of our students, staff, administration, and parents! It takes teamwork to achieve such an honor.
Here are some reminders for the coming weeks:
November is our month to send in items for the Snack Cart.
Tuesday, November 22, is a big day! The first draft of the Egypt project research papers are due. We wrote an example research paper as a class, so students have a model to use regarding format.
Also on Tuesday, I will be out of the classroom in the morning. I will be with our 8th grade buddy class and Mr. Yodice at the courthouse, where we will be practicing for the Mock Trial Competition on December 9. (I will be out of the school, at the competition, on December 9.)
Also on Tuesday, our class will visit the school library. Please send any books you wish returned.
Also on Tuesday, November 22, we will have our FALL FEAST!! Students will eat a snack lunch and our feast will begin at 1:30, in the cafeteria area. The students and I are looking forward to sharing a delicious and varied meal with you and your families!!
From Wednesday, November 23, through Friday, November 25, we have our Thanksgiving Holiday. There will be no school on these days.
On Tuesday, November 29, the Egypt project descriptive paper is due. We have written an example paper as a class, and students are completing individual papers about describing eating an orange.
On Wednesday, November 30, the second grade classes will visit the Morrison Library. Please send a sturdy bag for your child to carry their books.
Your child should have brought home a permission slip for our field Trip to Discovery Place. Although the field trip is not until January 10, we need to get the money and permission slips back by December 2. We must turn in all money to Ms. Hargrove, get a check from her, and get the check to Discovery Place three weeks prior to our trip. Parents, you will decide whether or not you wish your child to view the exhibit about mummies. Because of that choice, we will not know the number of students attending the exhibit or the amount of money needed until we receive all permission slips. So, please return the permission slip with your payment as soon as possible. Chaperones are welcome, but must pay all fees, just as the students do. Thank you for your cooperation!
I think that's all the news for now.
Have a great weekend!

Weekly Update: November 7 - November 18
Hello Parents,
November is our month to bring items for the Snack Cart. Please send pre-packaged, store-bought items for the students to eat. Items are sold during lunch periods, and the proceeds are used to help finance the 8th grade class trip.
One of the things I love about teaching is that every day is exciting, and last week was no exception. Last Monday was our Fall Party. A BIG thank you to all parents who helped with this event! The kids had a wonderful time doing the crafts, eating the treats, and visiting with their Buddy class.
On Tuesday, the second grade classes had their Egyptian Bartering Market. Many exotic items were traded, and I think everyone felt like they made some great trades. Again, thank you for supporting the children and sending in items to trade.
On Wednesday we visited the Morrison Library. If possible, please send a study bag with your student to help him/her transport library books. Thank you!
On Thursday the second grade hosted the BugFest. Just about every family attended, the "buggy" treats were delicious and imaginative, and the slide shows were entertaining! Students really enjoyed showing off their projects to the parents, and to other students and siblings. Thank you (yet again) for attending this festival and making it a smashing success!
On Friday, I placed your student's Report Card and completed math work in his/her "Take-Home" folder.
Here are some reminders for the coming weeks:
On Tuesday, November 8, we will visit our school library. Students may check out books only when our class is at the library. Books are due two weeks from checkout. Students may return books at any time.
Also on Tuesday, November 8, I will hand out our next project, the Ancient Egypt Project. Students will assume the role of an ancient Egyptian God or Goddess, research the God/ess, write a short story about it, and make a mask. On "Night of the Notables" our students will dress as their chosen God/ess. If you have a religious objection to your child assuming the role of a God/ess, let me know, and your student may be a Pharaoh instead.
On Thursday, November 10, the second grade classes will visit Lindy's Italian Ice to see how a system operates. We will tour the facility, see how the Italian Ice is made, and then enjoy some free Italian ice. We plan to eat lunch in the park, weather permitting. Please send a lunch and drink with your student. Also, each child must bring a jacket, (it's cold in the building), and shoes which cover their entire feet. We will leave school at 9:30, travel by bus, and return around 12:30. Chaperones are welcome.
Tuesday, October 15, is Picture Retake Day, if you were not satisfied with your original pictures.
I think that's all the news for now!
Enjoy the weekend!

Spanish Message
Hello Mrs. Moschel,
Please forward this message to parents. Thanks, Mrs. Bolz
Dear parents,
I would like to let you know that I am back in the school from my maternity leave. This quater I am sending the homework by email to avoid the kids losing their worksheets. This is the only quarter where you will have to print material for them. We are short on copies and I really think the kids can benefit from these worksheets. Please reply to my email if you get the files. I hope you can open them, but if you can't, you can send a thumb drive and I will copy it directly. The programs I am using are Microsoft Word and Adobe. This file is zipped (can be opened with WinZip or WinRar). If you have any questions please feel free to email at ramireziliana40@yahoo.com.
Sincerely, Mrs. Bolz Spanish Teacher
Dear Parents,
I cannot attach the file. Please contact Ms. Bolz directly and she can email the attachment to you.
Thank you.
