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.
