We are taking the time to write our letters the correct size. Are they midline letters or headline letters? Be sure capital letters are taller than (most) lowercase letters.
Keys to legibility are size, shape, spacing and slant! Handwriting is important and strengthens our fine motor skills! Neatness counts!
We are getting closer to cursive!

Important Information and News:
•Shhhhhh! Someone is coming to Trinity soon to visit our classroom! On Dec. 17, our classroom will be visited by someone very special. (Ho, ho, ho!) We will be collecting a new gift wrapped book (cost: approx. $10 or less) from you for your second grader. Your child’s first and last name will need to be on the wrapped gift. The special jolly visitor will then give out the wrapped books on Dec. 17. You may drop off the wrapped book to school at the designated times or send it along to school in a plastic/paper bag labeled “MAIN OFFICE” to ensure it is kept a secret! Please stay tuned for more information coming your way.
•A big thank you to Mr. Carpenter who shared an awesome book
this past Friday afternoon on Zoom! We were able to talk with him and share our favorite promises afterwards! We all enjoyed the time spent with you!
•Are YOU interested in becoming a MYSTERY READER? If so, please email me so we can set up a date and time for you to “Zoom” in and share a book with our class! We hope everyone will take part in this fun activity and spend some time with us! Thank you to all of the new volunteers! We can’t wait to share a book with you!
• Please remember to send in extra masks for your son/daughter just in case a backup is needed!
• Layers of clothing are always a good choice so be sure your son/daughter has an extra uniform sweater to wear if we venture out when the weather gets chillier! Hats, gloves and mittens will be necessary too somedays; be sure to label all items with names please!
•Some students need new crayons and pencils! Please have a conversation with your son/daughter if they need any other supplies as well.
If ever you have a question or concern, please email me at [email protected].
