We started the day off reading First Day Jitters. We talked about all the different feelings that we had this morning and that all those feelings are okay. The kiddos drew a picture and wrote about their feelings this morning. They also enjoyed a cup of "Jitter Juice" to take away any of the "jitterness" that they are feeling.
This week is a lot about getting to know each other and building a great classroom community. We learned about each other by playing Friend Bingo and Would You Rather. I found out some really interesting things today about places where they have traveled, about siblings, what they like to do for fun, etc.!!
We also learned about the Brag Tags that we will be using throughout the year to politely "brag" about our accomplishments. The kiddos were very excited about their first tag they earned for being "Super Second Graders." Below is a picture of them showing off their brag tags.
Our day ended with us writing about our first day and important information. This sheet is coming home today. We brainstormed ideas and then they had 40 minutes to fill out the sheet. Please review this sheet with your kiddo.
Your kiddo is coming home with a small gift from me - a "Welcome to 2nd Grade" goodie bag. Some of the items I had them keep at school but most of the items are coming home. There are a few pieces of candy that they can eat when it is okay with you.
I hope your child had a wonderful first day of 2nd grade!! Please let me know if you have any questions.
