Apple Week
Since next week is a short week we will not be having our regular reading groups. Instead we will be doing a number of activities centered around apples. We sent a note home asking you to provide two apples from home. Variety in color and type would be very helpful.
We will be discussing the numerous varieties of apples, making applesauce (with apples as the ONLY ingredient), making dehydrated apples, learning about Johnny Appleseed, doing an art project or two, reading books and doing various language arts activities. We will be giving the children a spelling list of apple related words but there will be no blue homework sheet and no spelling test.

The second grade musical will be on October 24th at 7:00 pm in the Lakeview gym. It sounds very good so mark your calendars, you don't want to miss it! Miss Wyse always does a great job preparing the children so you won't be disappointed. She sent a note home regarding costumes. If you did not receive one or misplaced yours, please let me know and I will see that you get another.
There will be no school on Monday, October 10th for Columbus Day and Tuesday, October 11th due to a Teacher's Institute Day. Enjoy the very long weekend!
Star of the Week
Our special student this week was Christopher. Christopher has two brothers, one older and one younger. A few of his favorite things are the color green, alligators, pizza, baseball, and the book Squish Super Amoeba. At school Christopher likes to go to gym and recess. At home he likes playing with his brothers and going to the park. Christopher says he is good at math, baseball, basketball and soccer. When he grows up he would like to be a baseball player.
