We Made it Through!

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 all of the warm weather. We've got 3 fans blowing at all times! I'm hopeful that the weather will begin to cool off... (fingers crossed!)

I'm so impressed with the group of second graders that I'm teaching this year. We've already earned 2 Classroom Cub ("Caught You Being Super") Awards! (When we get to 10, we'll get a special treat!) Also, many kids have already started collecting jewels for the clip by reaching outstanding on our behavior chart. It's wonderful seeing all of the good choices during the day. :)

One of the things we talked about in the first few weeks of school was the elements of design in art.  We practiced using all different kinds of lines, dots, and circles to create many drawings and illustrations.

Then we took our drawing skills "to the streets". We used those lines, dots and circles to create masterpieces with chalk on the sidewalk next to our room.


It was a beautiful day.  Perfect for chalk art!! =)

The time is zipping by! It's already the end of September!? How did that happen??

We have been BUSY learning procedures, practicing routines, and getting adjusted to being back in school all day. =)


I am loving this group of 2nd graders! They are such sweet kiddos. =)

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.
