Today was the first day of Library! The kids got a tour of the library, and they were able to check out 3 books each! They are free to take those books home, but they are due back to school by next Monday. Monday library times are difficult because it requires the kids to remember their books after the weekend. Don't worry though, you know I am GREAT about reminders! :-) I will help you, I mean THEM, remember.
The kids were so happy with their library books, they buried themselves in their books! What a bunch of eager readers! They sure are awesome!
We have a new friend...
Meet our new penguin. We are calling him/her JiJi, just like the ST Math penguin! Mrs. Parker (another 2nd grade teacher) got a penguin for all of the 2nd grade teachers! Wasn't that sweet? Mini Justin Bieber and Dancing Monkey already love him/her.
The kids went to the computer lab today too! Most took their first Accelerated Reader (AR) test, and are already on their second books. If you would like to know your child's level, write me a note or send me an email and I will let you know. When you are in the Warwick library, you can find books at their level. The levels will change though. The rule is that they read three books at the same level. If they pass all three tests, they move up a level. They can't do AR at home though. It's only for school. As soon as I get Reggie, the computer guy, to come to the classroom to update the software, the kids will be able to take their tests in the classroom, as well as the computer lab.
