Have you ever met a real author? Well, we have! Yesterday, we met a real author that came into our very room. Can you believe it?! Mr. Bill Smith was our old principal at Schroeder, and he wrote a book called Chickadees At Night. He recited the first page of it for us, and we loved it sooooo much that we wanted to read the whole book! Then, he said that we could find it in the teacher's lounge. So today, our teacher read it to us. We loved it! We were so excited to think that if he could be an author, we could too, someday! Find out more about the book here.
When we got our class pet, we were really excited because it is very cool. It is a hunter, it blends in with grass and leaves, and it looks cool. It sneaks up on its prey and jabs it super fast before it can escape. If you look at it really close up, it is creepy. It looks at you with its big green eyes. Megan brought it in for us, and she says, "Don't poke it, or it will bite you!" Have you guessed what it is? It is a... praying mantis! Stop by and visit it sometime!
We are learning our classroom rules. Each day, as we learn a new one, we get to act out saving the day! Today, three Super Smarties saved the day with kindness! Yesterday, two Super Smarties saved the day by keeping kids safe. I wonder how the Super Smarties will save the day tomorrow. Stay tuned to hear about the Super Heros rising...!
Today was our first day of second grade! We learned how our classroom works and got to know each other. We had indoor recess because it was raining cats and dogs!! We're so excited!
