Whew! We have hit the ground running! I don't know about the kids, but I could've slept all weekend long! Being in 2nd grade is a lot of work! We've been busy, busy, busy... learning procedures and routines, and just remembering what it is like to sit in a classroom all day long... and it's been HOT in our room, too! The kids have been troopers through the warm weather.

I'm so impressed with the group of second graders that I'm teaching this year. We've already earned 9 classroom Cub ("Caught You Being Super") Awards! When we get to 10, we'll get a special treat. Also, many of the kids have already started collecting jewels on their clip for reaching outstanding on our behavior chart. It's wonderful seeing all of the good choices during the day!
