Watch dog Night

You heard correctly it is Watch Dog tonight.  I can not wait to see some of our Dad's in the building.

We had a fabulous day of learning, and there were some tears. Writing is difficult to master and will take time.  Yes, I did say that it is hard. I know with practice it will get better.  We are working on revising for periods and capital letters.  Some think that because they are leaving them out that I am upset.  I am just trying to model how to end our sentences correctly.  Please speak to your child about when we leave things out it is not wrong or a mistake.  These are items we need to master and be taught.  This is all of my students goals this year and a tough one for Second Grade.  Ms. Wolfean when conferencing with you about your writing is just improving your work to be successful later in life.  During math we are having some still frustrated on math adding and subtracting, all I really want them to do is count up or back, look for a way to draw the picture to solve.  I hope they are less stressed at home?  

We, well I should say me, forgot to let Haven highlight her poster.  We did hear from her yesterday and learned she loves books and coloring.  She shared she used to live in South Carolina and we were all shocked and surprised by this.  I loved when one asked is that place in our world.  Students are too funny.  She has a friend Lilly and Koan who she enjoys playing with.  We also heard about her extend family Grandpa her Dad's Dad and her Grandma Lynn.  She described her boxer and that dog was adorable.  His name is Apollo and loves to bite and chew on things. When asked about coloring she reported I just like to draw and make up things.  My favorite is when she was asked about why she loves books.  She told us It is not a problem for me and I always find good books that take me places.
