Happy Friday!

We made it through the first FULL week of school- Yay! Thank you for all of your effort to get your child to school on time every day. Seeing your child's smiling face walk through the door is my favorite part of the day. 

Parent Teacher Conferences

In this week's Friday Folder is a form to sign up for parent teacher conferences. Please fill out the form and return it to school ASAP. 

SMART Spots 

Starting this week, students were able to pick their own "SMART Spots" during independent work time. A "SMART Spot" is the work space that helps each of us do our best learning. Everyone has a different learning style and does their best work in spots that are comfortable and distraction free for them. It's not a chance to sit with friends or a time to visit. Ask your child what their favorite "SMART Spot" is in our classroom. 

Share

Starting next week, students will have an assigned day for share. They found out their share day this afternoon. In this weeks Friday Folder is a letter all about Morning Meeting with more information about the purpose of share and what it looks like in 2nd Grade. Students know that share is different from show and tell. For their weekly share, please help them remember that this is not a time to bring in toys or other tangible items from home. We will save those extra special items for show and tell celebrations! 

First Sunband Celebration!! 

Our classroom Sunband Jar is full due to all of the safe, kind, and responsible behavior demonstrated these first few weeks of school. We brainstormed some possible celebrations and took a class vote. Here are the results:
