A Note from Mrs. Danley...

Dear Parents,
We are also excited about starting our Class Store this week for the
2nd Semester in 2nd grade. Students will earn money for good behavior and
making good choices. They will spend their money each week at our store.
This is a great way to utilize the life skill of counting money and making
change. Please send in any items that you are willing to donate for our class
store. I will begin collecting items this week. I will email and send out a parent
letter describing items that will be appropriate for our Class Store this week.
We are off to a great start to the second semester in 2nd
Grade! I am so proud of how much my students have grown
academically in just five months. I will include their DIBELS
fluency score oin the Report Card comments. Continue to read
each night with your child and encourage them to keep up the
great work.
Many Thanks, Mrs. Danley :)
WISH LIST: pop tabs, quart size zip lock bags, and large bottle of sanitizer
