Getting to Know Each Other

    Today in Social Studies we went around surveying each other to find out who has 2 sisters, rides a bus, went to a library this summer, etc.  They all went around with their clipboards and asked each other questions. 

    In Math, we were discussing pennies, nickels, dimes and quarters.  We sorted with partners, counted how many and then worked to figure out the value. 

Kendalyn using a calculator to figure out the value. 

    We also had science lab today and got to see Mrs. Deakins.  We were working on asking questions about things we wonder. 

    It was a BUSY day! 

First Day of School

We had a great first day in second grade.  I am so excited to have all of your children in our class.  This is going to be an amazing year!  

Meet the Teacher Day!

I cannot wait for all of my new kiddos to come by today.   I have worked hard and am finally happy with our room.  I think you will love it.  We have a ton of space and lots of cute stuff!  Now all we need is our class to come and it will be complete. 

How To Writing

We just finished writing "All Abouts" and we are now doing "How To's".  The students each came up with their topic and wrote the steps to doing it.  They made a poster of the steps to go with their paragraph. 

Shoe Box Maze

We planted our seeds...put them in our box with a hole cut in top...had them sitting in the window.  Mrs. Larson's sprouted, Mrs. McColloch's grew and ours...NOTHING!!   After a week, I planted a few more seeds, finally we got a sprout.   Two weeks later...we thought it would never happen.  FINALLY it grew!  The kids were so excited!  We discussed what was happening and how the plant is looking for like and growing in the direction of the light.  Everyone wrote their results of our experiment.  We will keep it going.  We have 16 more days to see if it grows out of the box.

Rainy Day Recess

Rain, rain go away

So we can go outside to play



Wow!

I have not posted in a while.  OOPS!  We are beginning our All About books in writing today.  It should be fun!  In Science, we are learning about plants and last week we did our Shoe Box maze experiment, we are all hoping it works.  Will send pics if it does.
