I have just added the calendar and newsletter for September. Book report information will be coming home tomorrow and will be due on September 30th. Have a great Labor Day Weekend! Here are the latest additions to our classroom- 2 wonderful caterpillars! This little guy has already decided to spin a chrysalis . See him hanging from the top of the lid?!
Thank you to everyone who came last night to hear all about second grade. If you were unable to make it, no worries! I will send home tomorrow the packet we went over in class. Don't forget to return the photo preference and volunteer sheets as soon as possible and again let me know if there are any allergies to rabbits.
We have figured out where to can get the link if you are interested in accessing this through the Portal. When you are on Infinite Campus, choose My Account, then go to calendar. When the calendar comes up you'll notice a red A+ on every day. Click on that and then you'll see the web address. It was suggested I look into blog updates via email subscription so I have set that up! Happy Monday everyone! Just a friendly reminder that Curriculum Night for second grade is tomorrow night at 7pm in the cafeteria. This meeting will give you insight into what happens daily in our classrooms, all about our math program, Daily 5, writing/spelling and social studies/science that is covered during second grade.
After we give our presentation, we will break out into each classroom where I will be going over things like technology in our room, class pet and volunteering to name just a few of the things we'll cover. I look forward to seeing you all there! ![]() What a wonderful Friday and week it has been! The children did their first Family Message Journal entry in their yellow notebook so be looking for that in their back packs. There is a note that goes along with it but basically you want to read the letter and then write back to your child. The Journal then returns to school on Monday and will boomerang back to you again on Friday. The highlight of our day though was the Mystery Skype! They knew that we were Skyping a classroom in the building but did not know which one. We learned about Skype etiquette, brainstormed questions to ask and assigned roles to everyone. Some people were researchers and used a map to narrow down the field of classrooms. We had a greeter, 8 questioners, 2 responders, and a videographer (Next time we do it we will add photographer). The class ended up being Ms. Evan's third grade and we got it before they found out who we were!! Next week we will practice with one more classroom here at Evening Street before we head out into the big, wide world. Another great day in second grade was capped off by practicing how to get on and off the bus and playing lots of fun games to become acquainted with one another (Fishy Friends, When the warm wind blows, and M&M questions). We organized our desks and book boxes and found some of us are still missing a few items. Gym is tomorrow so don't forget the gym shoes!
I have put my newsletter for August on the parent page, along with other information from the District. We are still working on the September calendar which has all homework, related arts days, etc... but it should be ready by the end of next week. Until then I will let you know if there is anything special going on or any homework (no homework the rest of the week). The above picture is part of an activity we did together after reading the book Chrysanthemum to remind us of the impact we have on each other when we use unkind words and actions.
