Buddy Time

Thursday we worked with our buddies to make decorations for the Community Dinner. We traced leaf patterns onto coffee filters, colored them with markers and finally dipped the filters into water to make colorful designs.   

Busy Day in Second Grade

We are so excited to finally be back in our classroom. It is nice to have our own space again. 

Everyone certainly was excited today. It will take some time to establish our routines again, but the kids all did very well. 

In math today, the kids learned how to make their own centimeter rulers and we practiced measuring objects (and people)around the classroom. 

Also, this morning, we had a fun time with our 5/6th grade buddies. We played a great cooperative group game called Transformations. The kids had to work together in groups of six, to transform their bodies into different objects. Such great teamwork on everyone's part!

We also did a fun newspaper relay race. 

Such a fun day! 

Friday Activity

Friday afternoon we worked on a project to create decorations for The Harvest Dinner. Each of the kids used crayons and watercolors to make unique scarecrows. What amazing artists we have in the Primary Unit! 

Summer Project Sharing

The kids have been working so hard to complete collages about their summer. Today they worked in small groups to share the finished products and to hear all about their friends summer adventures! Not only did we hear about all the fun things that everyone did this summer, but the kids got to work on their speaking and listening skills, too. What a great job they did. 

Also, a huge shout out to all the kids for doing such a wonderful job while our classroom is under construction. They have been amazing! 

Stay tuned for pictures of our new space on the stage. It looks really great. Bisbee's has kindly donated a rug to help make our temporary classroom more cozy. Feel free to come check it out. Our second grade adventures continue! 

Second Grade is a HOOT!

Check out the unique owls we created Friday afternoon. They are hanging in the hallway, just past the double doors. 

First Day of Second Grade!

It's so great to be back in the classroom with this crew. What an amazing group of kids! I've missed them this summer. We had lots of fun together today. 

We made name decorations for the door.  They look really cool! 

 

Later in the day, the kids traced their hand and arm, decorated them with crayons and finally used watercolors to make them colorful. These will be a part of our "Reach for the Stars" bulletin board above the cubbies outside of the  classroom. 

Looking forward to another great day tomorrow!
