First Day Jitters

Last week, we listened to the story "First Day Jitters". Then we had to write about how we felt on the first day of school.  Take a peek at our responses to the prompt 'On the first day of second grade, I felt...'

Reading is FUN!

Today we worked on building our "Stamina" while reading  We are working towards reading ten minutes (uninterrupted and by ourselves).  Tomorrow, we will try again!  

Take a look at one of the first class books we made this year..."We Can Make Good Choices".

Chrysanthemum and Vowels

Today we listened to the story 'Chrysanthemum' by Kevin Henkes. Your son/daughter has brought home some homework.  We want to know how you chose their name.  Please return the sheet on Thursday. Below you will find a video of the story! We also talked about vowels and consonants. We learned a new song to help us remember the vowels!

First Week Fun!

We finished up the week with Yoga play, working on our 'All About Me' booklets and played some 'Bump' Games!  Great end to a great first week!

You're Finally Here!

Today, we read the story "You're Finally Here!"  and wrote about our summer vacations.  The author of the book is the same one who wrote the "Scaredy Squirrel" books and "Chester" books (Thanks, Liam!).  All of the grade twos got together in the red pod to listen (and laugh) at this very funny story.  Later, we listened to a story about making good and bad choices.  We rocked that one!  During gym, with Mrs. Ng's class, we played 'Head Honcho'...a very sweaty game!The week is almost over and the students have been settling in to the routines of our classroom.  Enjoy the lovely weather and get out for a walk:)

Working Hard

We  have been working very hard these last two days.  Working in groups, we had to come up with as many ways to show a number from 1-5.   The school had an assembly to go over "The Golden Rule" and introduce teachers and new students to the school .  Check out the photos of us working!

We also read the book "First Grade Jitters" and had to visualize what Sarah Jane Hartwell looked like.  Mrs. Addison did not read the last page so the class had to create a mental image.  In the end, we found out who she was (and it's not who we thought!).
