Labor Day

Dear Parents,

I forgot a few (thousand) things in my newsletter...

If you read this and remember, please have your child bring in his/her favorite book on Tuesday.

***Water Bottles are ok and ENCOURAGED! :)

***Your child will be able to bring a snack each day. I will try to keep some animal crackers or something on hand also. It's so hard coming back to school when we were able to snack away anytime we were hungry this summer! Remember, no peanuts or "related" foods.

PLEASE do NOT send boxes of things - your child will not be allowed to keep food items in his/her desk - it's a health and safety concern. We occasionally have ants or mice and do not want to feed them! My classroom snacks will be kept in a Rubbermaid container, tightly covered!

About half of you were unable to make the Meet Your Teacher yesterday - so I will plan on the first half hour or so Tuesday for meeting/greeting. Then we'll try to do our class things.

I was so excited to see the kiddies yesterday and meet new parents and old friends! I can't wait to see the rest of you on Tuesday.

My voice mail is now working - 835-4245. I'd love to hear from any of you by email or phone!

Hope you all have a safe, happy and enjoyable Labor Day weekend! See you SOON.

Mrs. S.

Meet the Teach

Dear Families,

The room may not be quite finished, but it's filled with love anyway! Hope to see many of you tomorrow, but if you cannot make it, PLEASE know that it is fine to come on Tuesday morning. And you can stay awhile - I won't chase you away for at least five minutes (just kidding!)
Seriously, I know that some of you have taken the day off for this, so please, know you are welcome.

See you very soon,

Mrs. Swenson

Welcome to Munchkinland in Second Grade!

Welcome Back and Welcome!

For some of you, this will be your second year in Munchkinland - and for most of you this will be your first time. I hope you are excited about our year together in Second Grade! I am excited and know we will be able to conquer Second Grade together! I bet you have all grown (well, hopefully not the grown ups?) over the summer!

My new school phone number is 835-4245. But please don't leave me a message yet - I have no idea how to get at my voice mails! Hopefully soon I'll be able to set it up! In the meantime, if you need or want to reach me, please email me at mas@oregon.k12.wi.us.

I am very excited to learn about second grade units - I know we will have a lot of fun and learn at the same time. I hope you've been reading/writing/practicing math over the summer, but don't worry, if you haven't we will be practicing all those things A LOT in second grade!

More soon,

Love, Mrs. Swenson
