Grandparents Day!

At Glenwood, we celebrate Grandparent's Day by hosting a breakfast and choral program for our very special grandparents. We sing praise songs with awesome moves! Next time, I will have to video our class dancing! They are fabulous!

After the program, all our grandparents came back to the room to recieve the special gift we made for them and just to hangout for a little while.

We love our grandparents!

Fun Friday and Blackout Day!

On Friday, our class was so blessed to have some FABULOUS Friday guests! Mrs. Dottie and Mrs. Latane visited us and read The Legend of the Bluebonnet by Tomie DePaola. Dottie is from Texas, so she was able to share more about the legend and gorgeous bluebonnets that grow in Texas.

Friday was also Blackout Day at Glenwood. Everyone wore black to school and brought glow sticks. This is always the students' favorite pep rally because we all crowd into the gym with the lights off and turn on black lights. We had a great time!

Lately :)

We are already half way through the first 9 weeks of school!! I am so blessed to have an amazing class! I love to brag about all the fun things we do together...

 On Hawaiian Day, we made edible (and healthy!) palm trees! Students used peanut butter and graham crackers to make the trunk and apples and raisins for the leaves and coconuts.

On Friday, Mrs. Heather was our Funtastic Friday guest reader! She read Lilly's Purple Plastic Purse, which is one of my personal favorites. She even brought crunchy, cheesy snacks...just like the book!

We have also enjoyed learning how to write our names in cursive! We practiced writing the first letter of our names by outlining it in stickers and pipe cleaners! How FUN!



Awesomely Busy!

Hi Friends! The first few weeks of school have blown by! I wanted to share with you some of the awesome things we have been up to in second grade. Let's just say we have been "AWESOMELY BUSY!"

 Baby Day was a fun way to show our school spirit!

 We love collaborating with Mrs. Collins class on fun activities!

 Flat Stanley tailgated with the Auburn Family! War Eagle!

 We acted out "greater than and less than."

 WE WON THE SPIRIT STICK AT THE PEP RALLY!!

 We read "A Bad Case of the Stripes" by David Shannon and made "Text to Self" connections!

Flat Stanley LOVES Glenwood!

 
Over the Summer, our class read Stanley's World Wide Adventure #9: US Capital Commotion. When we returned to school, we could not wait to make our very own Flat Stanleys and Stellas! Each student made three Stanleys, wrote a letter, and mailed him out to friends all over the world. Stanley will even be visiting Australia! Wow! I can't wait to get the letters back!

 

We also showed Flat Stanley around Glenwood! We love to brag about our FABULOUS school and teachers!

FLAT STANLEY LOVES GLENWOOD!

Classroom Makeover

I am so incredibly excited to get this school year started off in a fabulous way! This year, my classroom theme is "How Sweet it is to be in Second Grade!" I used bright colors and patterns to make different sweet things in the room. Here are some pictures:
