First Day Success !

On Wednesday, Room 244 welcomed 19 new students. It was an amazing day filled with love, laughter, games, and fun activities. Here are some pictures!

Playing a getting to know you game with our table partners





Going on a "Teacher Hunt" to learn facts about our new teacher Mrs.Phillips!


Making a craft after learning about the importance of math tools in the classroom
These great activities came from the following units: Back to School for Second Graders, Back to School Activities, and Beginning of the Year Math Activities.

Welcome Back Poem

I've seen this poem floating around Pinterest and definitely wanted to use it for my student treat bags at our Meet the Teacher event. Here is the source on Pinterest: Serenade to Second Grade. I recreated the poem (but it is specific to 2nd grade). Leave me a comment with your email if you would like the Word (editable) version ! I am just now playing around with Dropbox...so please let me know if you are unable to download.

Class Brochure

I was inspired by Jennifer at First Grade Blue Skies to create a parent brochure. This will be a great communication tool at the beginning of the year, Open House, or to give to new students who transfer throughout the year.
