Class Election

We have been learning about elections and voting this week. We decided to take a class vote on whether we should have indoor or outdoor recess today. The voters casted their secret ballot and the votes were tallied and outdoor recess prevailed. Here are pictures of our voters in action.

Book Buddies!

Next week we are going to start Book Buddies! Every Friday we will be teaming up with Ms. Elles's 5th grade class and your child will have a 5th grade buddy. The students will get a chance to read to each other and Ms. Elles and I will plan activities for the buddies to do together. If possible, please have your child bring in their favorite book or a book they enjoy for Friday, July 31st. Friday will be our "getting to know" our book buddy day! There will also be a reminder about this in next week's homework.

We practiced "reading to self." Our goal was to build enough stamina to read for 20 minutes this week...and we achieved it!

I am looking forward to a great year in second grade! As a reminder, I use this blog to supplement our classroom happenings and to post important reminders for easy access. Please refer to my Friday emails for more detailed classroom updates.
