Wrapping Up The Week!

Well, the first week is in the record books!  What a great week it was!

This morning, we had a break outside and played with our friends!  

This afternoon we wrapped up the day with some writing in our very own book.  Each student will write about special things we do all year long.  Today we wrote our first entry!

Math Tubs

Thursday we had time to explore our math tubs that we will use this year.  Each table group was given a tub of unifix cubes, multi-connect cubes or pattern blocks.  It was fun to see the kids explore and work together, sort or on their own to create something.  We practiced how to put these materials away when we are finished.

Making Friends in 2nd grade

Wednesday was our second day of school!  Today was all about learning about our classmates and making friends! 

We read the book Rainbow Fish to learn about how to be a good friend -  share, use kinds words and be accepting.




Then, we played a game where we had to find friends who did or had some specific things.  It was lots of fun and everyone enjoyed talking with each other and learning about what  makes each person special.

At the end of the day we had some time on the playground to enjoy the beautiful day and play together!  

First Day of Second Grade!

Today was the very first day of school!  We had a fabulous time learning all about how we will do school this year. 

Here is our first class picture, not official as we are missing a few students, but all of us on the first day nonetheless.

We were a bit disappointed that we had indoor recess, but as we discussed, part of growing up is being flexible and able to adapt to what is going on at the moment.  We are hoping for better weather for the rest of the week.
