Room 114's Classroom Blog! : September 9, 2018

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! :) #bestyearever!

We survived the first day of 2nd grade!

Working together to brainstorm rules for our classroom!

Seeing just how much we have in common with a Getting to Know You Gallery Walk!

Starting our All About Me posters!

Getting to know each other with a scavenger hunt!

We made All About Us key chains to learn more about each other! Ask your child what each bead on their key chain represents! 🔑

There's nothing better on a hot, 98 degree day than relaxing during Quiet Time! Ask your child what they like to do during Quiet Time to rest, regroup, and recharge! 🌞

Meet Miss Ahearn!
We are so very lucky to have Miss Meghan Ahearn working in our classroom this year as an Educational Support Professional! Miss Ahearn joined the Boyden family last year after she graduated from college with a degree in Elementary Education! We are so very lucky to have her in our Room 118 family!

We are working SO hard already!!! ✏😃👍

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!

We were SO excited to be in our classroom this week! We participated in a classroom scavenger hunt to learn more about our new, "home away from home"! #byebyebees

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. #wearecapableofamazingthings

Participating in a Number Talk with our new Math Coach, Mrs. Kelly!

Getting energized with GoNoodle! Ask your child what their favorite GoNoodle activity is that we've done so far!

This week we read, Dream Big a story about Michael Jordan and his journey to becoming one of the best basketball players of all time! After reading this book, we learned about other famous people who overcame obstacles in their journey towards success! We then brainstormed our own hopes and dreams for second grade! Ask your child what their goals are for this school year and what they need to do to make those dreams come true! #ifyoucandreamityoucandoit!

As a part of our Dream Big lesson, we watched an inspiring video about Tom Brady and the effort he puts forth to be the greatest of all time! #provethemwrong 🏈

On Friday, our class participated in the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) Tallest Cup Tower Challenge! We had so much fun building and experimenting! This was also a great opportunity for us to work together and get to know each other! Great work everybody! :) #teamworkmakesthedreamwork!
