Houdini is still vacationing at home due to the move. He has agreed to let me fill in for him on his blog this week! He hopes to be back soon. He misses his kids, but we need to make sure that the overnight temperature is okay for him at school.

Yay! We are settled into our new classroom! The extra space is wonderful- we’ve gained enough room to add a round table for centers; there is actually more area for movement; and there is space for the students to sit on the carpet (as a whole group).

The windows add a lot of light!

The table is a great addition to our space!

Everyone can see the front board very easily!

*This week is Unit 4: week 3 in reading. It is a four day week, so please be sure to help your second grader study their spelling words each night. The test will be on Friday.

*Thank you for all of the homework helpers who make sure that math homework is done each night (and turned in each day). The students need to take responsibility for getting their homework done and turned in, especially since they are a semester away from being third graders.  🙂  We are working on graphing in math.

*We’ll be starting our Social Studies unit “We the History Makers” tomorrow.

*The class is very excited that we have started working on cursive handwriting! We are slowly learning the strokes and will be learning lowercase letters first.

**Our specials this week are:

Tuesday- Computer

Wednesday-Music

Thursday-PE

Friday-Art

Here’s to a wonderful week of learning in second grade!
