Library in 2nd Grade

Last Thursday we had our first visit to the Library at Brimhall.  Ms. Zbacnik and Mrs. McNulty helped us learn about how the library works and how we enter and leave the library.  

We will check out books in the coming weeks.  Our library day will be on Thursday, unless we do not have school on a Thursday or we are out of the building on a field trip.  I will let you know if there is a change.

In the mean time, please help your child find a specific spot to keep library books.  Please be sure the books are stored in a safe and dry location.

  

Today we . . .

Today we had another really good day!

Here are a few fun things we did!

1.  Learned more about each other!  We did an activity all about our friends in our class.  We found friends who did, had or liked certain things.  For example, find a friend who plays an instrument. Or find a friend who is wearing the same color as you.  It was lots of fun and got us to learn more about each other.

2.  We also spent time exploring our math journal.  This is something we will use everyday.  It has parts we will complete in class and outside of class as homework.  We will formally start math Monday.  Be looking for homework each night.

3.  At the end of the day we took pictures on the playground.  We will put these outside our classroom door for the entire year!  They will go home with students at the end of the year.

First Day of Second Grade!

What a fun day we had!  We did many things, here are a few highlights!  Ask your child about their day.  We did a sheet at the end of the day to help them think of four things they liked about their day.  I hope to see everyone tomorrow!

At the end of Morning Meeting we talked about how we are going home.

We read three really good books!

We worked on what a good friend looks like and doesn't look like.

Working hard!

We collected data about our names.

Working together!

Last Day of Second Grade!

Today was the last day of school.

First, we took care of some "must do" items.  We passed out report cards, work samples and fun summer work.

We read our Class Timeline books right away this  morning.  These books are full of all the fun things we did month by month along with special pictures.  We had a chance to read them and have our friends sign them.

Next, we had a snack while we finished the movie Ramona and Beezus.  It was such a good movie and there were similarities to the book we listened to last week.

Last, we read three books that sum up our year and how we are feeling about each other and our memories.  It was hard to say goodbye at the very end.  We had a chance to hug and give compliments as we left.

Thank you for an amazing year!  It was filled with many joy filled moments for all of us.

Happy Reading and Happy Summer!
