A teamwork type of day

Today's math and spelling lessons called for some team learning!! It was so fun and was a great exercise in strategy and sportsmanship! I am so very proud of how the students handled themselves when winning, a few even took on themselves to go give high fives and handshakes to the other team which I was very impressed by!!! Today was a great opportunity to talk about how we would like to be treated if we were the winning team (not be accused of cheating just because  we're  doing better, we'd want people to be happy for us and how hard we were working) and how we'd  like to be treated if we were on the other side (not being made fun of, not hearing a ton of bragging)....we'll keep working on these traits throughout the whole year;)



































We had our first mass with Monsignor Kuiwicki today!

Day 1!

 What a wonderful first day! They were so excited for everything we did, listened well, and were so kind to one another!!! We talked about first day jitters and what makes us feel better when we are nervous-then we made some "Jitter Juice" to cheers getting over our First Day Jitters!! It took awhile but we finally got our desks and supplies organized, started to learn our rules and routines, and enjoyed cheese pizza and recess- we are officially ready to enjoy our Second Day of Second Grade!                           Everyone found the classroom ok and were ready for Pledge and Prayer right away! Some Playdough Fun while Ms. Massman got attendance completed... A quick round of "Stand Up If..." to get to know one another....we have a lot of readers, bike riders, and candy lovers... First Class Picture (we are still working on finding our "window" LOL) Learning how to use the pencil sharpe...

 I cannot even begin to explain all of the fun and excitement that happened this Catholic Schools Week so hopefully the photos can speak for themselves :)                                                        Practicing our cursive in shaving cream! Time for Mass :) Group 2 Won the Music Award at the Praise Assembly for January!!!! So many fun assemblies this week-Prayer, Pep, a Magician, and Volleyball! Unhealthy Snack Day Happy Birthday, Joelle! I told them to highlight this when we were doing our Religion Books because in the future if they feel like they are ready to Marry someone, they should see if they can answer yes to this about the other person...if they can then they are probably ready to get married :) They said that I needed to make sure that I highlighted it and remembered it too, these little matchmakers...
