What a great first week back to school we had! (Even though it was only 3 days, it felt like a full week!). It’s hard work getting back into the routine of alarm clocks, breakfasts, and real clothes, so I am so proud of these kiddos, for how well they have transitioned back! Now, to conquer a full week!
This week, we spent tying up some loose ends, and finishing projects that we haven’t had a chance to finish. First, we spent some time with the computer lab. We worked on logging into our accounts, and took some much desired reading counts quizzes! Please, ask your second grader how many words they have read this month!!! or year!!!! It is quite impressive how excited the children have been about their reading counts numbers. Furthermore, it is even more impressive to see how motivated they are to beat their own numbers! I am so proud of them for their reading progress!
Friday, we finally had a chance to dissect some owl pellets! The children were unbelievably excited about this project! (and so was I! ). They were so excited to share their findings with all of you, that I didn’t have the heart to tell them that they couldn’t take their “findings” home with them. Hopefully, they were just as excited sharing their findings with you!
Next week, we will be back in a more regular routine. Reminder, we appreciate all, and any donations to our theme basket (LEGO – Build it!)
