Pirate Reading...

Today we went to the "Pirate Reading" assembly. All classes met in the gymnasium and, afterwards, our class listened to Pirate Read read How I Became a Pirate. We then had the opportunity to go out into the book mobile. It was like a library on wheels! Every child got to check out a book (that is due next week). They will also get the chance to go to the book mobile during our library time on Thursday. What a great experience for the kids!

For every 20 minutes read each night, each student will get to put their name into a drawing for a "reading buddy" (a gigantic stuffed bear).




In the book mobile...




I also wanted to post some photos of our math lesson today. We worked on exchanging $1s for $10s and $10s for $100. To reinforce these skills we played The Money Exchange game.

I will be updating our class blog throughout the year so you can see what wonderful things are happening in our second grade classroom. I am so excited for the year to begin and cannot wait to meet you and your child. See you soon!
