Wow, the week went by so fast and I'm exhausted! We survived the heat and the first week of 2nd grade. These little cuties were fabulous this week taking in all the new rules and 2nd grade work. Yup, we dove right into "Shared Reading" and Writer's Workshop this week. We also started morning work ( which was something of a challenge), but I know these 2nd graders will get the hang of it quickly.
Math this year is going to be exciting and new, we are going to be working with Engage NY and have lots of hands on Math FUN! We've been practicing our math games and soon will be be teaching the family how to play math games too!
This year I'm using FUZZIES instead of the dreaded "Behavior Chart". So far so good, these cuties are really digging earning FUZZIES and BIG FUZZIES, which means the class is working hard on being super students. If you haven't heard about the FUZZIES, ask your kids! On Fridays they get to trade their FUZZIES in for classroom rewards.
I can't wait to load pictures of the class (as soon as I get the parent releases signed), so you all can see what we do in Room 21!
