Our first two weeks of school were fantastic! We did many activities which helped us get to know each other. We also worked hard on learning and following rules and procedures. We have been working on Daily Five which consists of workstations where students will work while I am working with small groups.
Some other things we’ve been working on are: reviewing vowel sounds, learning new vocabulary words, studying addition and subtraction facts, doing AR testing, doing our TPRI testing, enjoying PE, music, library, and computer time, learning about our community, working on addition and subtraction strategies, writing in our journals, and getting reacquainted with our friends and making new friends.
Sharing our “Me Bags” was awesome! Each one of us had a chance to share the five items in our bag. Mrs. Stockton was so proud of the terrific job we all did when we shared. We even wrote a story about our “Me Bags” and Mrs. Stockton took our picture. Second grade is truly the best!!
