Absolutely Fabulous Class 2D!

We are off to a fantastic start in class 2D.  We have earned 17 marbles in the first 7 days of school!  Wow!  Only 87 more until we celebrate our excellent behavior!

The 2D Dolphins have been working hard from Day 1.  In the past seven days we have:

  • Come up with classroom rules
  • Wrote our hopes and dreams for second grade
  • Went on a classroom treasure hunt
  • Created new words from the letters in the words "SECOND GRADE"
  • Drawn comic strips of "Six Things I Didn't Do This Summer"  
  • Measured our heights and our hands
  • Shared our "Me In A Bag" treasures
  • Learned about our teachers when they were "Stars of the 'Day'"
  • Estimated with Unifix cubes
  • Worked on pages for our second grade portfolio
  • Learned about the five ways to study geography:  Location, Place, Human/Environment Interaction, Movement, Regions
  • Drawn our self-portraits
  • Listened to Come Back, Jack! on CD
  • Took a giant spelling test
  • Learned how to pick a "Good Fit" book using the "Five Finger Rule"
  • Helped label classroom books
  • Read a few comprehension paragraphs and carefully answered some questions about them
  • Wrote a friendly letter to some people we love
  • Danced in morning meeting
  • Learned about our "Word of the Week" (STRIVE)
  • Wrote and illustrated a special "Guess Who?" poster for our visiting loved ones at Parents' Night
  • Read lots of read aloud books together including Gooney Bird Greene by Lois Lowry 
What will the next seven days bring?!  We can't wait to see!
