From start to finish

you've achieved so much.

Reach for the stars

and you will see

all the great things

you were meant to be!

Have a happy and safe summer! =)

Wrapping up the year...

Class Poems "Fun with Poetry"

Our class explored writing poetry and absolutely loved it! They learned about stanzas, rhyming words, and all of the elements that make up poetry. Here is a picture of their poems.

New Beginnings

It is the start of a brand new school year! These second graders are busily working and making progress. They have selected their class goals and are working towards them. I predict this will be a great year!

Great Achievements!

As we approach the end of the year, the students revisited their class goals for a final time. The students reflected on ways they each met their goals and on ways they can continue to improve . I am very proud of their hard work and dedication. Together we achieved great things this year!

The following our a few of the skills that the students are diligently working on in order to review for the SAT:

~ Reading and practing the 200 most commonly used words.
~ Writing sentences using correct punctuation and capitalization.

~ Identifying the value of pennies, nickels, dimes, quarters, half-dollars, and dollars.

We are all working together and trying our best!!

What a year!!!!! We have been busy learning the past 5 months and doing all sorts of activities. This is one of my student's favorite projects. Each year, my students present their projects to the 1st grade students. They love this activity and in turn, the 1st grade students look forward to doing it in 2nd grade. ;)

Now it's SAT prep time!!!!!!
Countdown to March to get those test-taking strategies in!
I know they will shine!
