Open House

Dear Parents, 

Thank you SO much for coming to Open House! It was wonderful to meet all of you. I look forward to meeting again in December.

First week of school!

We had an awesome start to the school year! The students have all settled into their new classroom. This is a look at some of the fun things we did this week! Have a great long weekend!

Find-A-Friend: Look for a friend that matches each description. You can only use each name once.

Shake Breaks: We are working hard to earn shake break time. We got to Pop See Ko and the kids loved it!!

Math: We began Topic 1 this week with a math game about adding. We wrote addition number sentences and used a part-part-whole mat to help us add cubes.

Class Rules: We worked together to brainstorm ideas for our classroom rules. Here are some of the ideas we came up with.

Spotty Dogs: When students are following the classroom and school rules, they can be "spotted." When they receive 7 spots, they earn a coupon for a prize!

Hopes and Dreams: We wrote about our hopes and dreams for second grade. We are excited to learn about many new things!
