Rocking into 2nd Grade

We had fun taking our rock star pictures on the first day of school. We did a group project where we had to work together with a group using foil and pipe-cleaners and create something.  It was difficult at first to learn to work together as a group, but each group was able to create a project and then choose a speaker to tell the class what they created and what it was like working as a group.  We listened to a story called "First Day Jitters" and wrote and illustrated how we felt on the first day in 2nd grade.  Also,  we had a surprise guest "Rock Star", Mr. Relph who played his electric guitar and sang for us.  First thing in the morning we sang songs with Miss Crystal's class while Miss Cheri played her guitar. An important part of our day was learning the rules and rewards and consequences of either following or not following the rules. It is going to be an amazing year in 2nd Grade!
