Bubbles Floppy-Feet

I hope that everyone had a great Thanksgiving break! We are extremely close to winter break and December is CRAZY busy.  But first, we were one of the classes that raised the most money during Jog-a-Thon and because of that, we received a visit from Scoopie and concrete mixers yesterday from Culvers! The kids were more than a bit excited! 

Also, yesterday all of the kids turned themselves into elves! They were given an elf name (Elf Name Finder) and then they had to do a short writing assignment on why they would make a great elf.  Next, they had to use four adjectives to describe their "elf-self" and finally they added ears and an elf hat.  

On December 11th, we will be having a Polar Express day.  In first grade this day was cancelled due to a snow storm so, I felt it was only right to make up for it in second grade.  We will wear pajamas, of course, and do several Polar Express related activities throughout the day.  In the afternoon, we will drink hot chocolate and watch Polar Express.  

On December 20th, we will be having our Christmas party.  As a team, the second grade teachers decided to do a breakfast party at 9 a.m. due to our schedules.  It will last until about 9:45.  I have already notified the parents that signed up to help but, if you want to help as well, let me know how and we can make it work.  

I seem to have SEVERAL students out today.  Thank you for keeping your kiddo at home when they are sick.  The last thing we need is an epidemic among the bumblebees! 

Have a great week!
