The Golden Rule, Gym and the Number Game

Today, we continued to talk about the 'Golden Rule' and wrote about ways we can show the rule in our daily life.  We also learned a new game in gym called 'Conspiracy'.  At the end of the day, we played the 'Number Game' and Cam was the winner.  It was a close one, Annabelle!  A school newsletter was sent home today...please check in the front pocket of the agenda:)

Here are some of our beautiful entries in our Religion notebooks!

Class Rules

Today, we read the book 'The Golden Rule' and then got into our groups to brainstorm 5 rules for our classroom.  Tomorrow, we will write a Grade 2 Pledge together using the ideas from our group brainstorming.  Here is a peek at some of the great rules our class came up with:

Keep calm...

On Thursday, we read the book "Have You Filled A Bucket Today?"  It talks about ways we can be bucket "fillers" (being kind, making someone feel special...) or being bucket "dippers" (making fun of someone, excluding...).  Being a bucket filler is easy to do and doesn't cost any money. We are lucky to have a class full of bucket fillers. This week I have seen students hold doors open for others and help students tie their shoes.  One of our classmates always goes out of his way to tidy up the class without being asked. Teachers love to have their buckets filled with smiling, helpful and kind students who care for each other and their classroom.  Keep up the wonderful bucket filling, Grade Twos!  Your bucket can never be too full!

Day Two

Today we talked about making appropriate (good) choices and wrote about how we felt on our first day of school.  We will be making a class book when everyone is finished!  We found out who Sarah Jane Hartwell was...and guess what...nobody guessed who she actually was. Stay tuned for pictures of our book.  Don't forget to sign the agenda each night. Check out a video version of the book 'First Day Jitters'...
