Dissecting seeds: We were scientists and discovered that soaked seeds are much easier to break open. The seed coat protects the seed. We discovered that if the seed never got wet or soaked by the rain the seed would not grow...it would just stay hard. We are continuing to learn about A Plant's Life...

We are READING TO SOMEONE here! We are sitting EEKK... Elbow to Elbow, Knee to Knee, Book in the Middle, So we can both see, Elbow to Elbow, Knee to Knee, I'll read to you, and You'll read to me!! We started LISTEN TO READING this week as well. We are able to use a GREAT program called Raz-Kids and Headsprout in our classroom THANKS to the Lowell Education Foundation for funding these programs!! Check out the LEF here: (consider a donation) http://lowelleducationfoundation.org/ Check out Headsprout/Raz-Kids here: https://www.headsprout.com/ Today was our BIG PINK ARROW CELEBRATION. We had an assembly in the gym to get us excited for the big game tonight. We were all decked out in our PINK! Another thing we did today was have our PBIS (Positive Behavior Intervention System) Celebration. The kids got to have PINK LEMONADE and some EXTRA FUN on the playground. Dancing and other games were included. We have been exploring with a WATERMELON in our classroom as scientists. Today we ATE IT!!! Most of the students enjoyed this refreshing treat. Next we will do some writing about our watermelon.
Today was a successful 1st day of 2nd GRADE! We learned many RESTROOM, HALLWAY and CAFETERIA expectations. We are also learning our CLASSROOM expectations over the next few days. Tomorrow we will learn BUS and PLAYGROUND expectations. Today we learned the first part of DAILY 5 and that there are THREE WAYS TO READ A BOOK... this is review for most of the kids... 1-Read the pictures 2-Read the words 3-Retell the story (more on this later!) We made our BOOK BAGS and decorated them because these will be SUPER IMPORTANT ALL YEAR LONG!! These will get some major wear and tear! We read FIRST DAY JITTERS by Julie Danneberg and some of my friends didn't "spill the beans" and ruin the SURPRISE ENDING!! Ask what the surprise at the end is!! We learned that "jittery" is another feeling word for "anxious" or "scared." We got to try the FAMOUS "JITTER JUICE" that is MAGIC AND YUMMY and MAKES THE BUTTERFLIES FLY AWAY RIGHT OUT OF MY TUMMY! THE BUBBLES IN THIS SILLY JUICE WILL HELP YOU NOT TO WORRY. SO GRAB A CUP AND DRINK IT UP!!! HURRY! HURRY! HURRY!! The day fllllllllllllllllew by.... We are 2nd GRADERS!!!!!
