Clothing

The cold weather has arrived.  Please make sure that your child has a weather appropriate clothing to wear outside on the playground.  You are welcome to send in a pair of snowpants and boots to keep here at school throughout the winter months.  The children will try their best to be responsible for their belongings but we have found that this is the time of year when clothing tends to go missing.  Please make sure to label winter coats, gloves, hats and boots.

We will continue to have outdoor recess throughout the winter.  We will only stay inside when it is raining or when the wind chill is below 20 degrees.

Veterans Day

Veterans Day Celebration

Just a reminder that tomorrow Brown's celebrating our Veterns by having a small school celebration in the morning. It will start at 8:30am and last about an hour. If you could remember, please have your child dress in red, white, and/or blue to help show our support and to celebrate what our Veterans have done for us.

Continents

The second graders are learning about the continents.  They have each selected one continent to study.  We are using the computers to research the continents.   Ask your child to tell you about the continent that they are studying.

Empire State Youth Orchestra

We went on a really  hilarious field trip. It was about a funny composer who was called Peter.

He was a crybaby, he wanted the orchestra to play his symphony.

It was called the fourth symphony.

He showed it to us, but the sheet just said "4 degrees Fahrenheit." - Elise

Field Trip

The class will be out the building on Wednesday from 10-12 for a field trip.  We will be going to Proctors to see the Empire State Youth Orchestra.

Rocks and Minerals

We are learning about rocks and minerals.  Last week we went on a rock hunt and collected rocks from the Brown School property.  I have asked the kids to bring in a rock from home.  It can be a rock that they find in the yard or a special rock that you keep in the house.  We will be comparing the rocks based on their size, texture and color.

Anishelly

Have you heard about Anishelly?  We got her name from a book called Alvin Ho!  We got her from earning 25 stones.  -Toni (class reporter)
