It was a fun first day!  We have a great class and everyone is picking up the routines quickly.  In language arts we worked on setting up our pages, our word wall, spelling, and we did a doodle.  After recess we had math.  In math we worked on counting forward by tens starting at any number. "Start at 3 and add 10 each time".  How would a hundreds chart be helpful with this.  We also worked on even and odd numbers. After lunch we had PE with Ms. McFarlene before going to the computer lab.  We finished off the day working in our agenda's, getting them signed, and placing our bus tags on our book bags. 

I dont do homework.  The purpose of homework in grade 2 is to establish a link between the work we are doing in the classroom and home.  Instead of creating and correcting homework I will do my best to report what we did each day on this teacher page.  If there is a personal communication required I will use the students agenda. 

I will check the agendas every morning for notes, forms, monies, etc.  I will sign them at the end of the day with a happy face, straight face, or sad face depending on the students behavior that day. 

There are several memo's and forms (some that need to be filled out and returned to the school), and a supplies fee of $30 (if you havent paid already) that I will be checking agenda's for tomorrow. 

Get lots of rest and I will see you bright and early in the morning.
