If you find yourself or your household in posession of a lot of extra candy in the next few days, we have told the class about a dentist's office involved in the Candy "Buy Back" program. As far as we can tell, the only local office participating this year is located in Saint Louis Park, and they will buy back candy (1$ per pound, with a 5 lb. max per child) on Monday, November 4th, from 3:30-6:30PM.

In science, we are studying plants and animals. Our unit began with the children planting ryegrass and alfalfa seeds. After almost 2 weeks, it was time to "mow" our lawns! We used our rulers to measure a height of about two centimeters. We look forward to mowing again! Mr. Mann visited our second graders on Wednesday. He shared how he became a writer and storyteller. The kids had opportunities to share fiction and non-fiction tales with each other and receive constructive feedback. It was a great experience! We celebrated Unity Day today! To show that we are united against bullying, we all wore orange, talked about what bullying is and how to stand up for people who are being bullied, and we worked with our buddies from Mrs. Ewing's 4th grade class to make paper chains and posters to promote unity. At the end of the day, all the kids and staff linked hands around the outside of the building! Our first book orders of the year will come home today! If you would like to order books for your second grader (or anyone else in your family), please be sure to complete your order by Wednesday, October 9 at 3:00PM. You can turn in a paper order form with cash or check, or you can use your credit card to order online. The web address is http://www.scholastic.com/home/. Click on the "Parents" tab, then go to the option of "Order from Reading Club Flyer". If you have not ordered online before, you will need to create an account with your e-mail address. Once you are logged in, our classroom code is J7PV7. The books will be delivered by October 25th-possible sooner. Also, if you ever want to order books as a gift/surprise for your children, you can e-mail or call us, and we will be happy to coordinate a way to get the books to you without your child's knowledge!
