Attention Second Grade families: You should have received an email from your student's teacher this past week with information about Starry Serenaders (a singing group that will begin practicing in January for a special concert in March). Please remember to email Mr. Thomsen sometime before winter break if your student is planning to be a part of this! #starryinspire #misdinspire
Remember! Tomorrow starts our Annual Food Drive to support families in need. See the flyer below for what tomorrow's theme is. Remember, the grade level that brings the most items gets an extra recess! #starryinspire #misdinspire
IT'S READING CHALLENGE TIME!
Your child should have brought home a form like you see below. Please encourage your child to read, read, read!
See the forms for details! (Each grade level has slightly different reading length expectations.)
This week in math, students worked on writing numerals, as well as accurate counting by playing the game Roll and Record. Pairs took turns rolling dice, counting the number of dots, and tracing the corresponding numeral. #starryinspire #misdinspire
Who’s Who Wednesday!
Meet Mr. Ben! He is one of our Special Education Associates. He helps teachers to provide instructional and behavioral support for students. You can always catch Mr. Ben with a smile on his face or making others smile!

Second grade students play Name that Number in math. They worked with a partner using a deck of cards to practice addition and subtraction. This game is part of our “Everyday Math” math curriculum. #starryinspire #misdinspire #everydaymath
Who's Who Wednesday!

A few Starry staff created a mural of a road (or the Marion Way, if you will) on the wall! We will use it for many projects to come.
Right now, we are using it to display the balloons from our "Balloons over Broadway" family project! Check it out!
