End of the Year Behavior Raffle

Hello students and parents!  Mrs. Solomon, another 2nd grade teacher, and myself have teamed up for another behavior raffle!  The raffle will take place on the LAST day of school!  Students must be present on the last day in order to win.  Students can earn entries into the raffle by landing on blue or purple on our behavior clip chart at the end of the day.  Landing on blue gets you one entry, landing on purple gets you two entries!  We wanted to give our kids that work so hard a little something extra to look forward to as we go into the summer break!  Check out our prizes below!

SECOND PRIZES

(2 CHANCES TO WIN!)

THIRD PRIZE #1

THIRD PRIZE #2

There are so many exciting things coming up in the final month or so of school and this is just the first!  There is still another field trip in the works for those students who have worked hard all year (and maybe a surprise to go along with that trip).  We also have our final behavior lunch on June 2nd for the students who earned 1 yellow or less (and zero reds) throughout the month of May!  Positive support from home goes a long way, so parents, please be sure to support your students for the hard work that they put in each and every day at DAAS!  

Spring Break Photos!

Hello 2nd grade! I know I showed you many pictures in class, but a lot of you asked if I would upload more to the blog to show other people at home!  As promised, I have new and exciting pictures to share from my trip!  I hope you enjoy them and don't forget to leave a comment on the blog!

Happy Sunday!

I hope that you've all enjoyed the long weekend that we've had!  I did want to send out a quick reminder to all of my students (and their parents) about what is up and coming in the next week.  Since we missed school on Friday, our tests will be on Monday (that's tomorrow!).  DO NOT FORGET YOUR HOMEWORK!!!  It's very important to make working on it a habit.  Tomorrow's tests are in reading (School's Around the World), spelling, math (telling time to the half hour, fifteen minute, and 5 minutes), and social studies (study that packet!!!).  It sounds like a lot, but we have a fun activity in the afternoon to make it all better.  This week we will also go back to working on science and we might have a few new additions to our classroom!

Here are a few photos of our lovelies hard at work during reading and enjoying Brain Pop Jr. - our favorite!

Winter Break Goodies!

Hello everyone!  I hope that all of you have had a safe and exciting winter break.  I know that I did!  I spent most of it in Atlanta, Georgia where it was sunny and 70 degrees outside!  It was a very nice break from the cold, snowy Detroit weather.  I promised all of the kids in class that I would post photos from break to share, so I will include some of them here.  While in Atlanta, I was lucky enough to visit the Georgia Aquarium and Martin Luther King Jr.'s childhood home, church, and grave.  As a history fan, it was very exciting and educational!  Here are just a few photos from the trip!
