Today was fun. Some of us are working hard as we can. All of us are going to miss our friends and teachers. I hope everyone has a good weekend. Some people may be doing arts and crafts today. We are all happy that we are dismissed 3 hours early. We hope that all parents remember to pick us up early. I hope everyone has fun today. Today we didn't have lunch. Mrs. Riggs has a lot of work to do Someone has a wrestling tournament. Some of us will be really busy today. Have a nice day. Have a good time. See you later. We have to go.

Tuesday's Guidance

On Tuesday Mrs. Stickler talked about self-discipline. We are working on self-discipline. Self means yourself and discipline means to punish. We need to STOP, THINK, and ACT. We have a sign that says STOP, THINK, and ACT. One of the words for self-discipline is habits. We went over to Mrs. Garrett's for Guidance. We mostly always go to Guidance in Mrs. Garrett's room. When someone asks you to do something wrong, you tell them no or walk away. Don't be their friend. We also talked about how you can get punished. One person was gone. Guidance is really, really fun. Sometimes when we go to Guidance we watch movies. She talked about our cautions. Self-discipline means you discipline yourself. In Guidance we always learn something new. We all wish you a happy year. Have a snowy, snowy day.

Ooops!

Yesterday we forgot to do our blog! We all forgot about our blog yesterday. We were busy with Guidance. In Guidance we learned about self-discipline. We're very sorry we forgot. We also had to write our December stories. People who are finished, got to do centers. There are two or three people done in our class right now. We hope we don't forget again. We like to blog. Today we will try to have two blogs. We hope everyone gets done with their December stories today. Some people worked on their story this morning. Have a great, great, day. Have a nice week.

End of Semester

The 11th of January is half way through school. Also on the 11th some of us might get a sack lunch. Some of us might go to Minnesota for a vacation. It feels good to be almost half way through second grade. It's amazing that we are almost half way done with school. We will be done with school in May. It will be fun to be done with school. Some of us might think that there will be 1000 days left of school. We're all going to miss our teachers and friends. When summer comes we will have more time for video games and movies. We will have time to run in the sprinkler. School is getting harder since we are closer to becoming a third grader. Some of us really don't want to get out of school or last forever. Have a good week and year.

Dazzling December Stories

We are writing stories. We have special titles. We are working hard on stories on our Christmas break and how Christmas went. We have a list of words that will help us spell better. Some people have a little written while some have a lot written. Some people want their stories really long and some want them short. Some might be chapter stories. We also illustrated a picture. It's been fun so far. Everyone is writing a story. Mrs. Garrett's class came into our room for directions and to work. Mrs. Riggs said that our stories may be on our web site. We are going to edit our stories. We're going to get done with our first draft of our stories today. We hope Mrs. Riggs likes our stories. Have a great day,month, and New Year in January.
