Thanks to Mrs. Rucker for her suggestions!

When is one really a lot?

We read the book Only One and we discovered that sometimes one is actually a lot!

Apples Galore in Room 104!

Today we started our study of Apples. This unit will correlate with our Science standards. During this unit, we will utilize a Padlet. We would love for you to follow us on our journey!  You can even participate in our process!

We hope you check our site and keep on coming back to see what is new!

First time with our second grade buddies!

Mrs. Rucker's second graders visited our classroom today!

Whew! Another week completed!

We had such a great week!
Our class introduced many new routines this week and we are getting closer to operating as a full day with all content areas. We introduced the following:

• Math Instruction introducing our topic on Geometry. This week, it was on 2-dimensional shapes. We are expected to learn the circle, square, rectangle, triangle and hexagon. We had a variety of opportunities to identify, create, and name these shapes. We are working on our first iBook that should be uploaded next week! If you have a tablet, or iPhone, you should be able to read this book at home!
• Handwriting: Students introduced how we form letters the "school way". We stroke from the top to the bottom and worked on the letters l and i. We introduced the white boards and dry erase markers and the structure that is in place in order for us to maximize our learning time!
• We had another fire drill... we did great!
• We introduced our Poetry Folder and read the three poems that we have worked on from the past two weeks.
