Kids Heart Challenge

Information about Kids Heart Challenge will be coming home with students today. Please note that this fundraiser is for the American Heart Association, and it also helps us get P.E. Equipment for GT. The Kids Heart Challenge Fundraiser registration is February 6 until February 28. Click this link to register: Kids Heart Challenge.

When your child joins Kids Heart Challenge (formerly Jump Rope for Heart) they will hear from kids with special hearts and raise funds to help those born with heart defects. Students learn about taking care of their own heart through fun challenges and activities for physical, social and emotional health.

Get online and register your child today here.

Please note that thank-you prizes earned by students will be handed out when they come to P.E. class. Some prizes need to be ordered when the fundraiser is over and will be delivered sometime in March. Any money donated after Feb. 28 will not earn prizes.

Thanks for your help!  Mrs. Nienhuis & Mrs. VanKoevering

Math Update

Today we learned two strategies for how to solve two digit subtraction equations. This is a crucial skill in second grade and also something that simply takes practice to develop. The children were amazing today and worked so hard! Here is an explanation of the methods that we will be using (you may want to keep this handy for practice at home :)).
