Exciting News!!

We have exciting news to share... We FILLED our Compliment Jar!!

After filling our jar, the 2nd graders were able to create a list of ideas for a full-class reward and vote. They chose to watch a movie in their pajamas together! We are working out the details of this and the movie we will watch. We are hoping to be able to do this soon, so stay tuned for more updates and information! :) 

Cherry Pie

Lydia won our week 6 “Cherry Pie” spelling game! We are so proud of her!! 

Reading

In reading, the 2nd graders have been working hard on using all of the strategies and tips they have learned about this year so far. This week, I spotted the kiddos building their reading stamina, using "Stop and Jots" to jot down their ideas, thoughts and questions while reading, and re-telling with their reading partners. They are doing a great job!

Happy Birthday!

On Monday, we celebrated this sweet boy's birthday! Happy Birthday, Ephram! :)

Cherry Pie

Wow! Ephram did it again! He is our 4-Time Cherry Pie Champ! We think we might have to get him into a big spelling bee so we can cheer him on as a class! 

New Carpet

The 2nd graders are loving their new carpet! We are enjoying our morning meetings, full-class lessons, and independent work time on it!

Also, here are a few reminders:

*Tomorrow you can choose to wear Bay Port apparel and/or colors (blue).
