Second Grade: Day 3 – Spirit Friday

Today is Spirit Friday – Surfer USA.

The kids could wear Bermuda shorts/capris along with their surf attire. Not many kids wore surf attire but most wore shorts, which was a bummer because who wants to go to the beach when it’s rainy and cold?
That’s how the day started and continued throughout most of the day. It cleared up for about an hour and then started raining again just when I was picking her up for the day.

She said that 2 of the recesses were in the gym. The first recess was a quite one with the kids reading books, which she said she enjoyed sitting down by herself and reading (that’s my kiddo!). For lunch recess however, she didn’t mention what they did in the gym. Lunch recess is the longest of the 3 and was probably organized into small groups playing games.

The class worked more on their “about me” booklet. Isabel said she got her self portrait finished. She said there is more to do in the book which they will finish next week.

Today she brought home her first class newsletter/announcements…

  • Fall assessment testing will take place over the coming week. Looking forward to hearing about that and see how she’s doing.
  • An at home reading chart was attached. Isabel should be reading 20 minutes, 3 nights a week. She does that and so much much more! She’s a reader! The calender will be handed in at the end of month.
  • The Bible verse for the coming week is: “For He who promised is faithful.” Hebrews 10:23b
  • Show and tell will begin next week. Isabel’s share days are on Mondays. This coming week, she has to share something that she has LEARNED this summer. I’ll let you know what she chooses on Monday!

Getting to know those around you in class.
Isabel said, Teacher Mrs. A, let the kids walk around and ask their peers questions.
I love this activity!
