2nd Grade Had a Musical Monday!


Our 2nd grade class is rockin and rollin! We welcomed a new student, Sameh, to our class and we had a great day being back in class with all of our friends. We started the day with a "Waker Upper" to stretch our minds and get us thinking. "Our Symphony" was next and we spent some time going over expectations for the class and also ways to earn points and agreed on things we would work towards. We also spent some time getting to know our fellow musicians as we completed our picture page for our gifted folder filled with all of our favorite things. Using our flexible thinking and creativity we also wrote acrostic poems using only adjectives to describe ourselves. "Mad Science" time was spent talking about the scientific method and putting the steps in order. We used our keen observation skills to describe sharks teeth and had to remember which one we observed when they were all mixed up. I know we are going to have an amazing year in gifted! Thank you for all of the generous donations of supplies! Don't forget to send your child's digital release form back to me so I can start posting pictures next week.
