Thank you for checking in today! This blog will be used as my daily communication with families, and will inform you about daily happenings in the classroom, homework, upcoming events, and important reminders.

All I can say is “Wow!”, we have had an absolutely amazing first day in grade two! I can already tell that we have such a responsible, mature, and caring group of grade two’s this year. Our day included lots of laughs and stories, some curious questions, and even a lost tooth.

Our schedule for today:

Greeting assembly

Table activity – library cards

Introduction – Ms. Basky

Classroom understandings – students decided that instead of rules, we should call our class guidelines “understandings” as we need to all understand and agree with them, and helped establish them.

Daily 5 – the 3 ways to read a book. Students practiced with their responsibility partners.

Table activity – decorating book boxes
