The first day of second grade is officially in the books! We had a nice time getting to know one another and the procedures in second grade. The boys and girls were able to color, write a short story, and analyze data from a birthday graph. They even had the opportunity to use their new Chromebooks (be sure to send in the Laptop Agreement so that the device may come home!)
We left the room to practice a Fire Drill, and crickets came hopping in! Miss Armstrong and Miss Szentesy helped to shoo them out. Well, wouldn’t you know it, one guy was an eager reader, and wouldn’t come out from behind the bookshelf. We had a nice noisy time before lunch when Miss Szentesy was able to safely get that bugger outside. (Can you blame the cricket for wanting to be surrounded by books?)
Reminder that students must wear masks and they must cover the nose and mouth. We had a few chances for mask breaks (while seated, and while outside). It’s new to all of us, and we’ll get used to it eventually. Thank you for reminding the children of this important requirement.

I loved getting to know these second graders. This will be a fantastic year since we have such fantastic kids!
Have a great night! Can’t wait to see the Szentesy Squad in September!
