Pictures as promised . . . just in time!!


This is the picture of the bulletine board that is out in the hall. I was so happy to see what the kids did with their work and we had many compliments on our creativity.
Just imagine!! These kids are only in 2nd grade!! Apparently this child's autumn eyes behold a beautiful pumpkin patch.
We really enjoy our little "haunted corner" this year. Over the last couple of weeks we have been learning different blends and word families . . . some that tie in to the season, and the student's have been able to make words using those blends and word families, write the words on spiders, and attach them to the web. Shown in this picture is the blend " sp ".
Below is where we spend a good portion of our morning during our group meeting. We change the calendar, count by 2's, 5's, 10's, and 1's! Learn number patterns, sing songs about months, seasons, and days of the week. We explore coins and count the days we have been in school . . . which teaches us PLACE VALUE!! We share our daily news (and edit teacher's bad spelling and grammar!). It sounds like this is where the party takes place!

Parent's, remember to sign the permission slip so that I can post more pictures of our class doing what it does best . . . learning! We will be taking a class photo this week to put on our door for Red Ribbon week, and I would like to place it on the blog. Students whose parents give permission will also be posted for families to see on our blog.
