We had a great first week of school last week! This is going to be a wonderful year! Day 1: September 4, 2019Here we are on our first day of second grade! We had such a great time getting to know each other. We picked our seats in the morning and colored our name tags! We started out our day by reading a book called How Full Is Your Bucket? This story taught a very valuable lesson of how to treat each other and to not "dip" from others' buckets. Then we did a really fun "Find a Friend" activity to get to know our classmates! Every morning when we enter the classroom, we will be writing in our Daily Journals. We learned how to do this together. Class DojoWe will be using Class Dojo as part of our behavior system in the classroom! Today we picked our monsters out to have for the year! Our MonstersFirst Day JittersWe can all get a little nervous on the first day of school, and sometimes you need a little help! We read a great story called First Day Jitters and made a few connections with the characters in the book! After the story, we had some delicious Jitter Juice to wash away our first day jitters! After our tasty drink, we graphed whether we like the taste or not! Day 2: September 5, 2019Our second day of school was just as great as the first! Today we learned about picking just right books to put into our book boxes! Then we practiced how to read by ourselves in our new classroom. Name Graphing ActivityIn Math, we read a fun book called Chrysanthemum about a little girl with a really long name! This book led us into seeing how long our names are! We graphed them using post-it’s! Day 3: September 6, 2019We made it to Friday! Today we got to take tours of the school and learn about the new PBIS program at West Parish! There are expectations around the school building that teach us how to be respectful, responsible, and safe. We had a few fun lessons on the playground and in the cafeteria too! Successful Second GradersWe read another great book about things that kids need to have at school in order to be successful! It was called Brand New Pencils, Brand New Books. We made really cute backpacks with lists of what we think the top 5 most important things are! Our Backpacks!
