Monday Memo 2/12/18

Good evening!

Public Service Announcements

Please see the previous blog post to access your child's wonderful public service announcement in the form of an iMovie trailer.  I am so proud of these environmental activists!  Our Film Festival was the event of the season.  It was awesome to see the work of our friends in other classes.  On the blog, a couple of the iMovies loaded twice, and one of them I couldn't load at all.  If you can't find your child's, try this link.  Let me know if it still doesn't work, and I'll try to figure it out.

100th Day

We are excited for the 100th Day celebration tomorrow!  Many people already sent in collections of 100--thank you!  Please have your child bring it in by tomorrow.  See assignment.

Valentines Day

And the fun just keeps coming. We're obviously very excited for Valentines Day.  Look at our Valentine Monster Mailboxes, made with your recycled tissue boxes--thank you!  These monsters are hungry for valentines. Here is the class list if you need it.
My Twenty Valentines (and George in abstentia)
Library Date

Have a wonderful vacation!  I will be in the Children's room of the Morse Institute Library in Natick at 10:45 on Tuesday, February 20th.  I would love to meet up with some of my favorite second graders there, and we can check out some good books together.

Lunar New Year
We were very proud of Teddy, who helped make the dragon for our Lunar New Year celebration at the assembly today.
You can only see his legs, but that's Teddy, carrying the giant dragon head.
We were also very proud of Jack!  Along with his Chinese language class, Jack presented songs in Mandarin, including "Bingo".  Note that Jack is holding the dog.

Thank you to the PTO for providing funding for this wonderful traveling science program from the Acton Discovery Museum.  The students enjoyed the amazing experiments, especially the ones involving dry ice!
