The last 6 days of second grade in Room 118 have been fantastic! The children have quickly settled into our routines and expectations! I am so proud of each and every child for putting forth their best effort! We have a very busy and exciting week coming up! We will be starting our literacy curriculum and continuing with our math, science and writing programs! I look forward to our first full week of school together! :)

 Meet Miss Verbic!
We are so very lucky to have Miss Jessica Verbic working in our classroom this year as an Educational Support Professional! Miss Verbic joined the Boyden family last January after she graduated from college with a degree in elementary education! We are so very excited to be able to have her in our classroom this year! Welcome to the Room 118 family Miss Verbic! 

Shhhhhhh!!!!! It’s a Surprise! 
If possible, please help your child choose a shirt to send in for a project we will be working on for open house! Long sleeved shirts work best! All shirts will be returned unharmed after Open House is over! Thanks for your help! 

Parent Volunteer Forms 
Thank you so much for completing and returning the parent volunteer forms! There will be many opportunities to volunteer and help out throughout the school year so do not worry if you are unavailable to help or if you are not chosen to be a Room Parent! I am always looking for an extra set of hands! If you have not yet returned the parent volunteer form to school but are interested in volunteering in the classroom please return the form to school at your convenience. Thank you for all of your support and enthusiasm! Room 118 is truly a special place to be! 

Classroom scavenger hunt on the first day of school!

Nothing like ending our first day together with a "snowball fight"!

Behavior Management 
Information about the behavior management systems we utilize in our classroom was sent home with your child last week! Please feel free to contact me anytime with any questions you may have regarding the management systems described. 

We are already working SO hard! 

Filling our book bags with lots of awesome books!

Science
Last week in science we completed our very first lesson and experiment! We learned all about the properties and attributes of objects and used that learning to create our very own hats! Ask your child to tell you why they needed to make a hat and what supplies they had to use!
