Mrs. Starks' 2nd Grade 21-22

 It is another jar filled day tomorrow.   As part of Reading Month we are wearing pajamas and getting cozy with a book and something soft during a read-in time.  In addition we will use those soft items to get comfortable while we watch the movie version of one of the Dr. Seuss books that we have read.  I have told the students they may bring any safe snack and a drink along for the movie time.  You can look to Wixie to see where they will technologically compare and contrast the book and video.   As always please let me know if you have any questions.

The class filled the bead jar.  This time our Class Commissioners chose what would happen tomorrow.   Our Class Commissioners were chosen recently by their classmates while we were studying the city government.  Our Commissioners (we had 6 instead of 5 due to a tie) looked at the list of ideas that the class generated and discussed their top choices.   Due to the fact that there was a bit of a tie we basically have an Everything Goes Day.  First as part of March is Reading Month, it's a school wide dress up day to wear sport attire.   Then it's safe snacks, clear drinks, something soft, electronic toy day, mindfulness toys allowed, and the craft materials will be out during the toy time.  As always please email me if you have any questions.  Thank you!
