MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!
     We are down to the last week before the Christmas holidays!
Monday will be the last full day.  Our Christmas party is Wednesday.  We will begin right after announcements and go until 9:45.  On Friday we will have our movie and pajama day!
     Just a reminder to bring school items for our class service project.  Please send your child's Christmas present by Tuesday of next week so that I can make sure your child will have something to open on Wednesday.
     I am so thankful for all of my students and families and wish for you a very happy and safe holiday season.
     See you in 2017!

love,
Mrs. F.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

     Just a reminder to keep bringing canned goods and school supplies for our service projects!
     We are very excited about our Chuck E. Cheese trip this Friday.  Parents are welcome to join us!
     Our Christmas party will be next Wednesday.  We are having a brunch and parents are welcome!  Remember to send the gift that we talked about in the letter that was sent home to parents.
     Be looking for a schedule of our half-day events.  
     Have a blessed week.

THANKSGIVING DAY!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

I am very thankful for all of my second graders and their families!  I hope you will have a very safe and enjoyable holiday with your families!  I will see you back on Monday, November 28th!  

CHRISTMAS is right around the corner!

We will be doing a service project for Christmas.  I have a very dear friend who teaches in a low income school.  Last year we provided school supplies to help them have enough to get through the school year.  Teachers have to buy their own supplies for the students.  If you are out shopping next week and can pick up some school supplies to help our class service project that would be wonderful.  I like for my students to know that they can make a difference in the world by helping someone in need even if they are 7 and 8 years old.  The school supplies that are needed are:  pencils, crayons, glue sticks, folders with or without brads, paper towels, facial tissues, Lysol wipes, dry erase markers, construction paper, and hand sanitizer.  I will send a letter out after the holidays.  

For our Christmas party gift- this is what we will do:  parents will send a wrapped present for your child to open.  It is a secret so please do not tell them.  You know them better than anyone else!  You will mark the gift from (put their name).  They will think they are bringing a gift to exchange but they will receive the gift they bring.  Try not to spend over $7.00.  We will have a Christmas brunch.  Our room mom committee will be sending information out after the Thanksgiving holidays.  

I just wanted you to know what will be coming in case you wanted to plan ahead over Thanksgiving!

 

THANKSGIVING HOLIDAYS ARE COMING!

     Thank you for bringing in items for a service project!
     This is the last weekend for the Yankee Candle Sale unless you order on line.
     We had a great field trip today!  The students really enjoyed it!  We represented Ezell-Harding well!
     Open House for prospective families will be this Sunday.  If you know someone that you can share Ezell-Harding with, invite them to the Open House to see what we are all about.
     We will be having a special book buddy activity on Tuesday to celebrate Thanksgiving. 
     Have a great weekend!

Mrs. F.

IT IS HERE!

     We had a wonderful field trip today to Walden Farm!  The weather was beautiful!  We enjoyed having several parents and grandparents with us today.

     We were told by our tour guide that we were the fastest class through the corn maze that they have had this year!  The students were very excited to hear that.

     I hope that I will see many of you at the Homecoming game tomorrow night!  Remember tomorrow is red and white day!

     I sent the next eight weeks of spelling words in student binders today.  We are ready now for all 15 words and the beyond level list of words.

     I hope that all of you have a safe and enjoyable Fall Break next week!

     We have exciting things coming to second grade the second nine weeks!  Tomorrow will be the end of the first nine weeks and report cards will be sent after our break.

     Have a blessed weekend and break!

Mrs. F.

FALL BREAK IS NEAR!

     I can't believe October is almost here!  Just a reminder that Fall Break is the first week in October.
     Monday is dress in your favorite team jersey and Friday will be red and white day.  This is part of the spirit week before our Homecoming Football game Friday night September 30th.  Hope you can make plans to be at the game!
     Thursday is our field trip with first grade to Walden Farm.  Parents should arrive at school at 8:00 a.m. if you are following the bus.  We will leave shortly after 8 and return to school around noon.  Please send a sack lunch and drink with your child Thursday because we are eating lunch there.  Parents are welcome but please send $7.00 for the number of adults or siblings going so that I can give it to Walden Farm in one envelope.  If you need to write a check, make it out to Walden Farm not Ezell-Harding.  Please send your child in their red/crimson uniform shirt Thursday.  
     Students may wear jeans Monday with their jersey, Thursday for our field trip, and Friday for red and white day.
     I enjoyed parent/teacher conferences.  Please let me know at any time if you have questions or concerns.
     I was not able to grade the Bible tests today but hopefully I will have everything on renweb this weekend and papers home next week.  Thank you so much for your patience.  I appreciate all of you so much!
     Have a great weekend!

CONFERENCE WEEK!

This Thursday will be our Parent/Teacher conferences.  I am sending more information about this in your child's notebook Monday.  It will have everything you need to know regarding Thursday.

Friday is our Vocabulary Parade!  Please let me know if you have any questions especially my "new to Ezell" students.  

Next Thursday is our trip to Walden Farm.  If you would like to go please send $7.00 cash or check made out to Walden Farm (not Ezell-Harding) by this Friday if possible.  It is $7.00 for each person attending, even siblings, if that person is going to get a pumpkin.  Your child has already paid if you paid the field trip fee at the beginning of the year.  Please make sure that is paid so that your child can go on our field trip next week.

Have a wonderful week!

WELCOME TO SECOND GRADE!

FIRST DAY WITH JITTER JUICE

We had a wonderful first day of second grade!  We went over our class rules, our class behavior plan, read a book called First Day Jitters, and enjoyed some jitter juice!  

Friday was a fantastic day too!  We enjoyed Computer class, we made a Reading Award for First Day Jitters, played with geoboards, and did a Bible lesson using origami.
