Houston Donations

Hello 2S Families,

This week in class we have begun to learn about hurricanes. One of my favorite parts about being a teacher is having opportunities for student's interest and curiosity drive our learning. Many students had heard about the hurricanes and wanted answers to questions like: How do they happen? What causes them? “Where do they happen?” etc. We have started a mini unit to help answer those questions. One thing I love about this class is: they are bucket fillers who want to help! I have contacted a second grade class in Houston that is in need of classroom supplies to get their school year started. The teacher’s name is Kirsten Petitt, and she is ecstatic that there is a classroom willing to help her and her students. As of now, Kirsten has 18 students and would be appreciative if we could send her a class set of the supplies below.I know it wasn’t long ago that you sent in supplies for your own children to begin their year. If you are able to and would like to contribute to our class package please send in your donations by next Wednesday, 9/27. I will mail them by the end of that week. We will also be making cards and sending letters in class so every student will have the opportunity to send some positive thoughts to Houston.

Requested Supplies:
composition notebooks
Pencils
Markers
Folders
sheet protectors
crayons
glue sticks

You should all be very proud of the size of the hearts and the passion your children have displayed for helping people in need! I know I will say it many times this year, I am so excited and happy to have each one of these students in 2S. It is going to be a fantastic year.

Warmly ,
Meg Sullivan
