National Fire Prevention Week

Our Class had a wonderful time at the Viking Fire Hall on Friday, October 9, 2015!

Arnold Weleski and Pastor Ollie Urdahl did a fantastic job!

Our class learned more about fire safety and fire fighting equipment.
It was a fun day!

Classroom Happenings and Outdoor Scavenger Hunt!

We have had a great start to our year! Below you will see some of the activities we are doing in class. We LOVE using the iPads to help us learn. You can see how much fun and engaged the students are while they are on them. We love to use motion math and reflex math to help us with fact fluency, reading eggs to help us with reading skills, and spelling city to practice our weekly spelling list. Last Friday, we used pic collage to make a life cycle of a plant. Wow, did they ever turn out cool! I will try get some of them posted next week. 

Carter was our leader of the day and he is working on our morning calendar!

Gumball math has been going great in our classroom. Dominic passed and is about to put a penny into the gumball machine!

Friday was FUN FRIDAY! We worked really hard the entire week so we joined up with the other second grade class and went on an outdoor scavenger hunt. They had to draw or write a word to describe certain things outside. Some examples... an insect, something smooth, flowers, squirrel, something wet, and something rough. They had a blast and seemed to really enjoy this activity. It was really fun to get outside and enjoy the beautiful weather we have been having. 

First Day of School

We had a great first day of school. It was so much fun to see all the smiling faces. We had a busy day learning classroom procedures and a little bit about each other.   I am already excited about tomorrow! We took some first day pictures. I hope you enjoy!

We read the story First Day Jitters and had Jitter juice to get rid of all of our first day "jitters". They loved the jitter juice. I wouldn't share my secret ingredients though!

In math we did math centers to familiarize ourselves with the manipulatives. They had a lot of fun doing these hands on activities. We are ready to start our math lessons today!
