First Week of School

The first week of school was a success!  A brief overview of what we started studying.  

  • We started our reading off for the year by reading a book together, "Dolphins at Daybreak" by Mary Pope Osborne.  The kids really enjoy reading the book and are working hard on their assignment after reading each chapter.  We want to thank a cousin of Miss Liewer's for donating five books to our classroom.  
  • In science we are studying about plants.  The kids are awesome at doing actions for the four main parts of a plant.  We start with our feet being the roots, our legs being the stem, our arms being the leaves, and our head is the flower.  
  • We are studying about communities in social studies and how we all participate in our community.
  • Religion finds us learning about creation.  We also had a visitor on Friday morning, Sister Rita Claire Judge, she is Miss Bailey's great aunt.  It was great having her visit.  
  • We are studying doubles math facts and played some games on the SMARTBOARD a few times.  The second graders learned about ordinal position and the third graders and learning about measuring length and width of a rectangle.  
  • We also celebrated our first birthday of year.  Have a great year and thanks for bringing treats!  They were yummy!

    First Day of School!

    Our first day of school went great!  We attended mass in the morning.  Afterwards we joined the rest of the school in our lunchroom for an activity to get to know each other.  After coming back in the room we worked on taking our school supplies out of our book bags and putting them into our desks. Before recess we went outside to take our first day of school pictures.  After coming back in from recess, classroom jobs and rules were discussed before we dismissed school for the day.  Excited for the new year with my students!
