What a great start to the year we had today!
We started off the day with chapel. Pastor Josh and Mr. Haan shared a great message about our theme this year: Rooted in Christ based on Colossians 2:6-7.
After chapel, your student learned about their homework sheet. This week the reading log is blue and it is extra credit (this week only)--I am giving them a chance to get familiar with it and get in the habit of keeping it in their homework folder. If your child reads for 20 minutes each night, please initial for the night. They will bring their sheet back each day.
Then we had a chance to go out to recess. They got to explore the basketball courts, softball field, and Gaga Ball pit. Ask them what they did at recess!
After recess, the 2nd graders learned some procedures to help our classroom move smoothly. We discussed our morning routine, how and when to use the restroom, how to make sure they have all the materials they need, and what to do to end our day.
We packed up and talked about how our dismissal procedure works. It was a whirlwind of a day!
Reminder: We have P.E. for the first time tomorrow. Please remember to have your 2nd grader bring their gym shoes ASAP! Thanks!
Note: I will be updating the blog each day this week, but will update less frequently after that--about once a week for the rest of the year. Just so you're prepared. :)
