After learning about how the cafeteria works and taking a tour of the space where we would be eating lunch, we wrote letters to our future selves about our hopes and dreams for second grade. We will get these letters back to read on the last day of school!
This afternoon we used dot cards in math to learn the "turn and talk" routine. Ask your child to tell you about dot cards and how we used them to find the math!
Today we discussed treating people the way we want to be treated and the importance of cooperation by reading two books, Chrysanthemum by Kevin Henkes, and The Crayon Box that Talked by Shane DeRolf. We loved both books! Ask your child to tell you about these stories!
Today your child will be bringing home their green communication folder. Please return this folder to school with your child tomorrow. Anything in the "keep at home" pocket should remain at home. Anything in the "return to school" pocket should come back to school. There are some forms in there for parents to fill out, as well as an "artifact bag" for your child. (Due on Thursday) We talked about ideas for this bag at the end of the day today. If your child has not yet brought in a family photograph or drawing, they should do this by tomorrow because we will be sharing them with each other at Morning Meeting!
I hope that everyone has a great night! I'm looking forward to a great second day tomorrow!
