Telling the Truth

Today Mrs. Riggs read a story about telling the truth. We wrote about telling the truth. It is hard sometimes to tell the truth. We listened to music about telling the truth. It takes two to tell the truth. We drew a picture about when it was hard to tell the truth. We colored the picture. We shared our sentences and our picture. We are going to try really hard to always tell the truth even when it's hard. Telling the truth is good.

Back to School Night 2008-09

I would like to welcome everyone to our room. Last year our class blogged almost everyday and really had a good time. We would pick a topic and then students would add their thoughts. During this time we would also talk about the sequencing of their ideas, choosing a better sounding word, and proofreading Mrs. Riggs' typing. We loved when relatives, friends, and neighbors would comment on our blogs. We had several people from Atlantic comment as well as from several states. Please check our blog and give us your comments.

Have a great year!

I just wanted to tell all my former second graders to have a great year in third grade. Always try to do your best. I hope you had a chance to read some good books and practice counting money during the summer. Don't forget to stop by and say hi to me. I hope you enjoyed your summer. Tell your mom and dad hi for me also. Have a great year. I hope you will try to read our blog during the school year and write some comments. Our new second graders will also learn how to blog. See you in the fall.
