Friday is a big day!!!

There are lots of events happening on Friday.

#1 - Friday is toys from home day. Each Friday for the rest of the year, students can bring toys from home to play with outside at recess. These can NOT have batteries or cords. They are not to be a distraction to our learning or toys will be taken away and given back at the end of the day. We have a spot in the classroom where students can store their toys so they are safe during the day, but the students need to be responsible for their toys outside!

#2 - This Friday is TWIN DAY! Students can dress like their friend. If they do not have a friend to dress alike with, I will be wearing my red Frank Wagner t-shirt and my blue jeans. Any student is welcome to dress as my twin this day!

#3 - This Friday is also the PTA Carnival & Auction! I believe it is $4 to get in and this allows everyone to play unlimited games. Pizza will be $1. Don't forget about the auction! Our class has 3 items in the auction. One is a "writer's bag". The bag has a notebook, pencil case, pencils, 2 packs of crayons and some erasers. Another is a "reader's bag" which has some new books inside. The third item is 5 Earth Day bags decorated by some students in the class. Did you like the bags that the students took home for Earth Day? Now you can have your very own! I hope to see you all there! Baby Zoe and I will be in attendance!

Earth Day

For earth day, we discussed the importance of using reusable bags when shopping. So...we made our own reusable bags! We used markers, glitter paint and glitter stickers! They are perfect 2nd grade size or even great for lunches!

Big Buddy Reading Outside!

Just about every Monday we meet with our 4th grade buddies from Mrs. Whitehouse's class and do many things from reading, writing, math, and art! Today, we took advantage of the nice day and read outside! We read Scholastic News articles and books from the 2nd grade book bags filled with Just Right books!


Alejandro listens to an interesting article with his two buddies!

Happy Easter, happy Spring! This is the start of my 2nd grade blog. I'm hoping that this is more successful than the website that I previously had. This is still a work in progress as I learn how to use blogger. I hope everyone is having a great spring break!
