Today was Brendan's birthday. We enjoyed some delicious healthy mini corn muffins. Also, Brendan bought a variety of stamp pads for the class and a pipe builder set. We will use these items at center time and during rainy day recess. Thanks so much to Brendan for the class gifts. In addition, we learned how to complete the story chart for the homework book response. We also took our first spelling pretest of the year. This helps students know which words to study for the test on Friday. Your child brought home a homework packet in a folder. Also, your child has information on Nordstrom's new wrapping paper fundraiser.
Today we learned about related facts. Ask your child what is a related fact? Ask them to tell you why 9, 5, and 4 are related facts. Ask them what other related facts they know.
We also read a funny book called Who Wants Arthur? It is about an ordinary brown dog named Arthur. Ask your child about the unusual tricks Arthur did. The First Day of Second Grade We learned a lot on the first day of second grade. We made a birthday graph and a getting to school graph. We learned the “class, yes”attention getter. We also learned the five rules of the class. It was fun to learn the class rules. We learned not to be scared of going into a classroom of new people. And we’re glad to have made some new friends at school. We met our new teacher her name is Mrs. De Villez. We also did a word search about school. We read a funny story about the jitters. Having the jitters means we are nervous, scared, or worried. We learned a lot on the first day and will learn a lot this year.
