Mrs. Kellett's 2nd Grade Class: A few more pictures from our 1st week!

Well, we survived!! I have to admit though -- this teacher is exhausted!! The homework sheet went home today. Please keep that in your child's folder for next week. Homework will go home on Monday and will be due on Friday. This is different from last year. Everyone's so busy with work, sports, etc so I figured this would give you guys some freedom to choose which nights work best. Remember we will need some magazines to cut pictures from on Wednesday. If you have some you are willing to donate, please send them in! Check to make sure they are child friendly first.

It's definitely been a fun week. Here's another peek into our 1st week of school.

Caught you reading!!

The kids loved this. It was called Find a Friend. They had to go around and find people in our classroom that fit the clues in the boxes. For example, has a pet dog, saw The Smurfs, etc. They really got into it! We realized Abby was the only one who wore flip flops that day (one of the clues) so she was QUITE popular!

We also read the book The Crayon Box That Talked about a box of crayons that did not get along. They had to learn to work together. At the end of the story, they crayons realized that by working together, they could make a beautiful picture. We talked about what lesson we could learn from the story and how it relates to our classroom. Then the kids worked in groups to create their own pictures.
