2nd Grade Here We Come!

We have started a new year of 2nd grade with a great bunch of kids. We started off with many beginning assessments that have to be done and then dove right into our read-alouds and writing projects. We first looked at how important our writing is by completing the directions on how to go down a slide. We then went outside to see how many really were able to go down by what was written in their journal. We read 

Click, Clack, Moo: Cows That Type and tried typing on an old typewriter like one in the story. They learned that typing is important because you can type so much faster than you write with a paper and pencil after having a race between myself and a couple of students. They students then typed a letter to Mr. Graber about their wants for the school just like the cows did to Farmer Brown.
