We have now been a class for two days and things are going well! I've used the analogy that getting a school year started is like getting a space shuttle launched - you use up 80% of your energy the first few weeks, and the rest of the journey is smooth sailing :) The class is learning procedures and second grade expectations. Students will have some flexibility with choosing activities during the morning, so I have been teaching, modeling and we've been practicing all they need to do in order to be successful. I set the bar high for behavior and hard work with my students but I'm sure this class will be up for the task!
This week we will be introducing modern manuscript handwriting, our math curriculum, and completing an all about me poem, as well as building our reading and writing stamina. Lots to do!
I hope to see you at back to school night next Thursday, and again...if ANYONE has an idea for our class auction item, PLEASE let me know as soon as possible so we can get started collecting donations.
