First Week!

We had a great first two days of 2nd grade! 

On Thursday we spent some time getting to know one another and learning the rules and procedures of our new classroom. At the end of the day we had an Assembly with the rest of the elementary grades where we heard from Mr. Jernberg and our new chaplain Mr. Roe. We also got to sing some fun songs together and watch a video made by our teachers.

Today we continued to learn about our class rules and expectations. We took a math test to see what we remember from 1st grade. We also practiced how to work together in groups by playing a fun cup stacking game. Today we also started our Japanese classes and our Music class. We ended the day with another get-to-know-you game where we learned more about our classmates.
