Tuesday

We had P.E. today. We played the dead ant game. It was really fun. We also played scrambled eggs. We have early dismissal today because of the weather. Yesterday we had a fire drill and today we had a tornado drill. Everybody brought back their homework. We get to play loud music. We had a lot of fun today. Picture day is tomorrow. Moms and dads need to sign our homework and bring it back to school. We had recess today.

Second Day of School

We told the principal about good behavior. Yesterday we had science and gym. We talked about plants. We did lots of math. We learned new things. We worked really hard and went to Music for the first time in the second grade. We have fun here. We like our teacher. We do hard work. We have made new friends.

Welcome to the New Second Graders

I would like to welcome all of the new second graders to Mrs. Riggs' room. I'm really glad you are part of our class. I'm anxious to meet you at Back to School Night. Hope to see you there. You'll have time to put away your school supplies while Mom or Dad fill out some registration sheets. See you Tuesday at Back to School Night.

Our Store

We went shopping at our school store. We earned currency by doing our work. This is not real money. The store was really cool. There were lots of cool things. Jacob bought a slinky. Joe purchased a puzzle. We shopped to buy things. Matt bought a slinky with his money. Some people were able to buy more than one thing. Some things cost lots of our money. If we had enough money, we could buy several things. Genevieve bought a gator aide. The store had games and toys. There was a lot to choose from at the store. Brendan bought a bowling game. Mason bought a skateboard toy. There were some things that I wanted, but couldn't get them. Lane bought a set of jacks.

Christmas

Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas to everyone. We'll see you next year!!!
