We are so excited to start the 2017 school year with a bang! These sweet friends have been working hard this first week! We have learned all about each other with our All About Me bags, learned how to be engaged independent and partner readers, and are working hard to fill each others “buckets” with kind words! It’s going to be a great year!

We have been learning about the importance of bees and how they pollinate 75% of the fruits and vegetables that we eat. We explored the different parts of a flower to understand better the job of these mighty bees. The students were given supplies and then independently designed and created their own flowers, complete with labels. They did an outstanding job!

 

I am so excited about our great start to 2015! We welcomed our new friend, Ethan, before Christmas and he has made an excellent addition to our already stellar class! I am looking forward to a fantastic remainder of the year!

We have had a great first 3 weeks! I’m so excited about how much we’ve learned so far! I am posting a link to my presentation from Parent Night as well as an explanation of our 1st 9 Weeks Language Standards. Please let me know if you have any questions. 🙂  2nd Grade 1st Nine Weeks Standards Definitions for parents

We have had a great start to the year! Students are getting acclimated to the new schedule and expectations for 2nd grade. Thanks for all of the parents that participated in Parent Orientation this week.  We had a classroom full and had a wonderful time together.  We are looking forward to a fabulous year!

We have had such an exciting beginning to the New Year starting in our new facility.  We are sad that Trey and Chloe have moved but are really looking forward to what we have planned in the 3rd nine weeks of this year!  Our Flat People are traveling around the country, we will be learning all about matter with experiments and lots of hands on learning, and we will begin writing opinion pieces! It is going to be great! 🙂

Make sure you reserve your yearbook now! Sales will go through January 15th.  If you do not preorder now, you will not be guaranteed a yearbook otherwise. 🙂

We are so excited to have a new friend join our class today.  Chloe U. makes 21 friends in our class.  Welcome and we can’t wait to get to know you better!

We have had a terrific week learning about the books that our friends have read and sharing our pumpkin characters! They were all so creative and gave us some great books to add to our “must read” list!
