I'm Back!

Hi there!

In Science we have been studying weather. Here is a picture of the types of clouds puppets that I made. This was introduced to the children on the second day of our cloud study. I gave each puppet a voice and the kids loved it! Acting is a big part of teaching, as we all know.
Also, Christmas is around the corner. This bulletin board background in my classroom will not change all year but I wanted to get festive. This tree will hold paper ornaments given to those students as a reward for turning in homework on time, being a good listener, quiet, following directions, doing the right thing, etc. They will get an ornament with their name and the reason, color it and then I will stick it on the tree. The last week I will add glitter and decorations to the tree and maybe have them stand by it for a picture. 

Next week, the second grade teachers have decided not to start a new lesson in reading and will review all of the things covered this semester, plus we have report cards, a Christmas program, and about 4 major tests to give the students next week. I have to admit that they are bouncing off the walls already. Is it December 21st yet?
Happy Holidays!
