Thanksgiving Celebration

Our Thanksgiving play and poetry reading was a success! Thank you parents and grandparents for being a great audience and for your help with our 2nd grade feast!  The students looked adorable in their costumes, and they did a great job. 

Enjoying the 2nd Grade Thanksgiving Feast!

Rockin Fall Book Reports!

What a great job on Book Reports today!  I very much enjoyed hearing my students tell us about their favorite Fall books, and the props made them even better! Way to go!

Wacky Wednesday with our Awesome Student Teacher

Mrs. Hardin is a true asset to our class! She has very creative ideas and truly cares about the students.  This week she has taught about Author's Purpose, and the class enjoyed the hands-on activities!

Fall is here!

It's hard to believe that October is already here! The leaves are starting to change colors and there is a crispness in the air that I love!  We have been very busy learning and getting settled in to our daily routine.  The class has really enjoyed learning all about space, deserts, and recently about ants.  We earned our first party for good behavior last Friday and made some yummy "Ants on a Log".

Parents, remember to listen to your child read from his or her Fluency folder each weeknight and return on Thursday.  Thanks for your help at home!

Fall Break is coming up, October 12-17th.

It's been a busy, but good first full week! My students are working hard.  We will start Fluency folders next week for homework, so be on the lookout for them! Thank you parents for sending me your best each day!

School is in!

I'm very glad that school is finally in session. It's been a busy, but great couple of days!  I am enjoying getting to know my new students.  We have learned all the rules and procedures, as well as a little about each other.  Next week we will do some additional testing and begin our regular schedule.  Have a great weekend and check back for more pictures of our class!

Welcome to my class!

Thank you so much to all the parents who attended registration last week.  It was exciting to meet all of my new students and their families!  Although the first day of school has been delayed, my classroom is ready and waiting for this amazing group of 2nd graders   I have many things planned for us this year and I can't wait to get started!  Thank you as well for making sure that your child is well rested and prepared for school each day.  I will give my best effort each day to make sure your child receives instruction that is individualized to his or her needs, and that a productive, caring learning environment is provided.

Don't forget to bring your school supplies on the first day of class.  Parents, be sure to check your child's take-home folder each night.  I will be sending home some important information the first few days.  There will be a revised school calendar which I will send as soon as I receive it. I will also send a copy of our daily schedule and weekly special class schedule.

I am very happy to announce that our class will have a student teacher this year.  Her name is Mrs. Kyla Hardin, and she is very excited to meet the class! We are fortunate to have Mrs Hardin with us.  It's going to be a great year!

The End of the Year Is Here!

It has been a while since I have updated my website! My laptop crashed a few weeks ago, and I have been lost without it. Thankfully, it is up and running again. Be sure to check  upcoming events for the remainer of this week and next.   It is hard to believe that our school year is already at its end! I have truly enjoyed each day with this awesome group of 2nd graders.  They have become very dear to my heart, and I know that each one of them has an incredibly bright future ahead.  I hope that my students and families will keep in touch and come visit me when possible, as I love to hear what is happening in their lives as they grow. Thank you parents for the opportunity to be a part of your child's early education.  My hope is that they have learned alot,  enjoyed their 2nd grade year, and will have fond memories of my class!  Have a safe, wonderful summer vacation!
