We are learning about adjectives. There are some great youtube videos that I shared with the kids today. One was a great re-write of "All about that Bass!"
The kids really enjoyed the first song, and thought that the 2nd was old!

Back into the Swing of Things
Can you believe that February is almost over? I am shook by how fast this school year is going! And I think that February Break was much needed, but sooo long! I miss all my kids. My Rose hugs me daily, but there are about 17 other warm, little, squiggly, joyful kids that I miss greatly!
I miss the little things about being with the kids, like saying:
1. "Put your shoes on!" to my boys who like one shoe off and one shoe on! lol! Who knows that poem?
2. "Umm? Good Morning! I didn't see you already today."
3. "Is there pork in that? If yes, please go to another teacher's room for a few minutes."
4. "For Goodness Sakes!"
5. "Heavens to Betsy!"
I also miss their laughter, their smiles and excitement.
Most of all, I miss how smart and caring they are.
See you all tomorrow!

February 12-26th
We have an exciting week coming up!
Tuesday, we get to go to the Media Center for the AR store. Not many of the kids have earned more than 10 points this time. Sadly, we have many friends who have not earned 1 point. I hope that changes before the next AR store.
Wednesday, the kids are to have "friendship cards" with them to share with their classmates. They will pass the cards out during Literacy time. Then, we have guidance with Dr. Hyman and Mrs. Hale, at 10:30. Following guidance we'll eat lunch (cheese pizza) in the classroom. Many parents are coming in to help and enjoy our Friendship Party/Math Centers. Please let me know if you are joining us.
Our math centers are going to cover many math standards:
Ice Cream Sundaes= Addition and Subtraction Activities
Rewards and Prizes= Problem Solving Stories
Cupcakes and Cookies= Measuring Weight
Snack Time= Measuring Length
Friday, All of the 2nd Grade teachers are going to combine the students and teach different math lessons to different kids. We do this after lunch and before specials. This will give the kids the opportunity to learn from someone else who teaches the same math concepts as me, but may use different terms. Often times the kids love getting the chance to meet teachers with a different personality. We work closely together planning our weekly math lessons, so we look forward to the chance to make an impact on each others' kids. It is fun.
Homework for this week says to do SpellingCity.com. There are 10 activities on the list, but I really want them to choose 5 to complete. If they do more, that is okay too! There is also a reading log. I will collect that on Feb. 28th! Any students who has 6 hours of reading recorded, will receive a free ticket to Six Flags Over Ga. I will send a new addition sheet as many of the problems on the one sent home Friday have sums over 1,000. I don't want to confuse the kids just yet. So, if those problems are giving you trouble, skip them and I will send new ones tomorrow. Check out my youtube videos to help with the addition and subtraction practice.
