First Days of School

Well, we made it through the first 9 days of school. I am behind in my posting because I've been meeting myself coming and going! So far we have 22 friends in our class and YEA we are 11 boys and 11 girls right down the middle! We are a lucky bunch. We have worked on several routines and getting it down pretty easily. We have a very looonnnnnng line of kids so it takes us a while to get anywhere, but we can do it! It is an eighth of a mile from our classroom to the cafeteria or gym, yep we're that big, so walking down the hall quietly for that length of time took some practice.

We started our Daily 5 and I am SO VERY PLEASED to say that we can read to ourselves without distraction for a whopping 18 minutes! We're working on making it to a full 30 minutes, but 18 is FANTASTIC! Because they did so great the last few days we added Read to Someone and they were so excited!! They did pretty well, but we still need some practice.

I promised pictures and I'll post pictures of our room soon as well as pictures of the kids. I am really enjoying second graders. They are loads of fun and crack me up daily! More fun will be coming soon!! Enjoy your long weekend!!
