We had a great day today settling into second grade. We sorted and labeled our supplies, got to know each other with some games, and went to P.E. and Music for the first time. Here are a few things to remember as we continue our first week:
1) PLEASE complete the Powerschool update right away. This is very IMPORTANT to have current phone numbers etc. in case of emergency. Also, return the back to school folders with completed paperwork ASAP. Tomorrow would be FANTASTIC, by Wednesday if needed.
2) It is HOT, if your child has a water bottle at home feel free to send it. We have water in the classroom.
3) If you are able, please send a snack each day with your child's name on it. We will be having a mid morning snack daily. The morning is longer for second graders and it helps them stay focused and reenergize.
4) Mrs. Gust reminded students of recess and some general rules today. Please leave toys and electronic devices at home. Our lockers do not lock.
5) A change of clothes for those just in case times (paint spills, mud puddles...) will be beneficial to have in the student's locker. You may also consider having extra gym shoes in lockers as needed. They are required for P.E. on Monday, Tuesday, and Friday. Otherwise students will borrow them from Mr. Cochran. I also advise closed toe shoes for the playground.
Thanks again for all of the supplies to start the year, and your support! I was so proud of our class today. They already earned 3 paper "gum balls" for entering quietly after lunch, listening, and cooperating as a class. The students also came up with amazing responses for how they want to be treated by each other. Including...

- The Golden Rule: Be kind! Treat others how you want to be treated (and how they want to be treated) and they will be nice to you.
- Share and take turns
- Help each other
- Be quiet and listen to each other
What a great start! See you tomorrow!
