P.I.N.

It was wonderful meeting so many moms and dads last night!  What a lovely bunch - it is not wonder why this class of kids is so amazing already!  I want to thank parents for taking the time out of busy schedules to come into our classroom.  I really believe it helps our kids understand how much we value them and their education.

Happy Friday

This week was shorter, but we sure accomplished a lot!  We have built our reading stamina to over 13 minutes (!), met Franklin (Wheelock's service dog), learned about indoor recess choices, and worked really hard to show a YES line in the hallway.  It is only our 16th day of second grade, but we are starting to rock at being Wheelockians! 

Boy have we been busy!

Goodness, we have been a busy bunch these days.  There is SO much to learn in second grade, especially the first days of school.  We have all done a fantastic job of learning each others names - we even decided to ditch the name tags in the classroom!  We are working hard to build our classroom community - one that supports, helps, and cares for all. 

Ask you second grader about SUBITIZING, as well as the incredible STAMINA building we are doing.

This year is going to be one for the record books...I can't wait!
