We had such a great first week in 2nd grade! We started our first few moments together with a book that couldn't be more fitting... "You're Finally Here!" by Melanie Watt!
Through this read aloud we laughed a lot and answered this question: "Where have you been?"
During the first few weeks of school we begin building habits based on our "5 Bee Promise." The 5 Bees that we strive to follow are:
1. "Bee" a good listener
2. "Bee" a hard worker
3. "Bee" responsible
4. "Bee"lieve in your yourself
4. "Bee" kind
We have been practicing our stamina for read to self in our Daily 5 block, and in our math block we focused on 2 of our 3 stations: math game with a partner, and assignment station.
Throughout this week the students learned to shop for books in our library, choose a good reading spot, and build independence for read to self.
It is so fantastic to be apart of their first experience to get into the classroom library. You can feel the excitement in the air when they get their hands on the books they've been eyeing up all week!
We practiced and reflected on the expectations of our math stations: to be a hard worker, stay focused, cooperate with your partner, play fair, and try your best.
What a week! What a super bunch of students. I couldn't be more happy and excited to teach, laugh, and learn with these children!
