Kindness Ripple

Today we watched this video and made a plan for our own kindness ripples this month.

TypeTastic

We have been practicing logging in and out of our Chromebooks, and are starting to get really good!  Today we practiced some keyboarding skills using TypeTastic.  The more comfortable students are with knowing where to find letters, numbers, and symbols on the keyboard, the more efficient they can be using this device. 
You can find TypeTastic in our class links tab, near the bottom.  Good news: you can use it as much as you'd like at home!

Mystery Reader

We are so lucky that our first Mystery Reader of the year is someone we get to see every day!  What amazing audience members!

Our first Scholastic Book Order

Whew, we've been super busy in room 111 getting to know each other and learning how second grade feels.  Today, your first opportunity to order from our Scholastic Book Clubs has arrived!  This is optional, but is a great way to get your hands on fantastic books at an affordable cost.  You can find all the information you need on the Scholastic Book Clubs tab, or on the flyers that came home today.
Happy reading!

Second Grade Supply List

Happy Summer! In an attempt to save my wallet this summer, I've been avoiding Target. But sometimes, you just have to run in for one thing (is that even possible?!). I noticed all their school gear ready to go for us all. So, in case you misplaced the list that came home on Transition Day - here is our classroom supply list. If you chose to order through 1stdayschoolsupplies.com, everything on our list will come directly to our classroom. This is all you need in our classroom (some other second grade rooms have a few add on items, don't be alarmed by neighborhood chatter). Can't wait to see you all in a few weeks, but until then, play your hearts out!

Character Day Parade

What a blast Wheelock Reads week has been for us.  We read "at the beach", had lots of mystery readers, helped keep our office bench filled with readers all week long, and enjoyed character dress up day.

Here is a video of our character parade - enjoy!

Salt Dough Landforms

Thank you to all the families that donated their time for our salt dough projects.  It was so wonderful to solidify our learning in a hands-on way!

Enjoy this little movie of our work!
