Well, we survived the first week of 2nd grade! Monday morning was a little quiet in our room! I think everyone was tired! We are busy learning the rules and routines of 2nd grade. We have a nice group of boys and girls to share the year with!
You will want to check out our blog each week to learn more about what's happening in 2C. We like to post pictures, give updates, and many times, it's written from the perspective of the students!
Last week we did a lot of "get to know you" activities, as well as a lot of review. In writing workshop, we made writer's notebooks to help us get started. We talked about how writers use their memories to write. We searched magazines to find pictures of things that might spark our memories....like Madison, pictured below. She found some baby lotion which reminded her of when she helps babysit for her baby cousin Kale and helps give him a bath.
Here's a picture of Audrey, Annika, and Cayden S (we have a Caden and a Cayden this year!) working hard on their notebooks.
In math, we are reviewing attributes and patterning with pattern blocks. Below, Devin shows off his creation.
I hope your child is settling into a back to school routine! We are sure to have busy days here at school, which should make bed time easier! If you ever have a question or comment, please call or email me! I'm looking forward to a great year!
