First Days of School

We had a great first few days in 2nd grade!  We were very busy learning new routines, rules, expectations, and names.  To help learn about one another, we did several fun get-to-know-you activities.  We also transformed our paper towel rolls into time capsules!  We decorated the capsules and fill them with memories of the first week of school like: hand print, yarn the length of our height, photograph, footprint, and short questionnaire.  The time capsules are sealed away somewhere special and will not be opened until the last week of school.  Lastly, we showed off our family photos and put them on the family tree.  Our year is off to a great start and our classroom is filled with wonderful boys and girls!
We played the Name Game.  Before saying our name, we had do a beat of patting, snapping, and clapping.  Then we would introduce ourselves and call on someone new.  It was A LOT of fun and we all got the hang of it...after awhile!
We went on a People Hunt.  We had to find others who had things in common with us such as favorite food, season, birthday month, etc.  It definitely helped us learn about one another.
