2013-2014 School Supply List

Below is 2nd grade's school supply list for the 2013-2014 school year.

Woot Woot! It's Summer!

It's summer and guess what Mrs. P has been doing...Working on school stuff. I just got back from a math conference in San Antonio and I'm excited to implement all the new games and activities that I learned. This coming school year is going to be FUN, FUN, FUN!

Penguins have overtaken Mrs. Prunes' room!

I have really fallen down on posting! Time has just gotten away from me. I cannot believe how fast the year is going!!

We have some EXCITING news in our classroom!! Santa has sent us a penguin to report back to him. Now, if you know anything about Santa (which I'm sure you do) he normally sends elves. But Santa knows how much I LOVE penguins, so he sent our classroom a penguin that is EXTRA special. He reportes back to Santa every night to inform him of who has been naughty or nice. Our class came together yesterday and they decided to name him Snowchip.

Every morning, when the kids return to school, they have to find our silly penguin and see what he has been up to. This is a picture of his first morning after the kids met him.

In other penguin news, I encourage you to come check out our pengiun bulliten board. The kids worked really hard on making a mosaic penguin, giving their penguin and name, and writing a story about their penguin's winter adventure.

Math and Spelling Games

I just updated out Math and Spelling page on the right-hand side with tons of games to play online. Check them out and let your child have fun learning.

Learning about Mass and Teamwork

This week we started learning about mass in science. I couldn't pass up sharing this great teamwork picture. The kids were discussing their predictions about what weighed more and less than a penny and then they were discovering by weighing the objects and comparing them with a pan balance.

Week 6 Peek and Spelling

This is a very important week in second grade. We will be having our very first reading benchamrk test on Wednesday and Thursday. Be sure you child comes to school well rested and with a full tummy.
