In Mrs. Walter's room...

We had an incredibly busy day on Friday. We dove into our reading book today and reviewed -id and-ide words. The students did a few practice sheets with their spelling words on them. We also started writing in our journals. Before lunch, we went to music class. After lunch we did a few more sheets with our spelling words. We did some writing and math. We ended our day going to gym class. What a busy first week we had. The students did a great job!

Today we got more into our regular routine. We dove into our math and science books today. In science we learned about the water cycle. The students had a great time illustrating this on the whiteboard. Be sure to ask your kids about the water in the sand. In math we did some reviewing of addition. There is a math assignment for tonight. We also had art class today.

First Day of School

Wow! What a great first day! After we figured out where we should all sit and got all of our new supplies put away we got to know our new friends. We all paired up with a friend and interviewed them. Tomorrow we will be introducing our new friend to the rest of the class. We also got to go to gym class and we even played a quick round of heads up seven up. Everyone had a great first day. No homework for the first day :)

Mrs. Bognetti's 1st Day of School...

We had a great day today! This morning we organized all of our supplies (if you haven't sent them in yet, please do so as soon as possible). We talked about the different jobs in our classroom, how to take care of our library, and wrote about what we want to do in second grade. We also went to music class! This afternoon, we read a book called The Big Orange Splot. Then, we decorated "houses" to make them represent us and our dreams, just like the main character in the story. We played with some math maniupulatives today as well. At the end of the day, we played Addition Bingo. What a great day! We are looking forward to another one tomorrow!

Welcome Back to School!

We are so excited to start the new school year with your children. We have lots of great activities planned for this year and look forward to working together as a team!!!

Wednesday--Miss Calderone's class

We had another fast day! The entire morning was dedicated to Field Day. We had relay races, jumped in blow up bouncers, played carnival games, danced, and ate popcorn and snow-cones. After lunch we learned a new cursive letter and cleaned out our desks. For the rest of the morning we watched Harry Potter with Mrs. Bognetti's class.

***Tomorrow is our last day of school!!!!! Can you believe it? Please still send your child to school with their backpack and a lunch/hot lunch money. It will be a full day!

Tuesday--Miss Calderone's class

What a fast day! Our morning was spent mostly in the gym watching the talent show and a short assembly on bike safety. When we came back we began making wind socks but quickly had to go to lunch. After lunch we finished our wind socks and then went to art. When we came back from art we learned the cursive letter X. After practicing for a bit we watched a movie on Ancient Egypt and then finished the day working with friends on an Ancient Egypt word search.

The homework for tonight is to get your reading test signed and read for 20 minutes!

***Tomorrow morning is Field Day so please remember to dress for being outside and wear gym shoes!
