2nd Grade Moves

What a joy to have second grade!! It's wonderful to be with some of my former students from Kindergarten, to see their growth and excitement! Oh to be young again...we listen to Pandora Radio while doing different activities. While creating personal name tags that represent themselves and listening to some Black Eyed Peas, hips were moving, the latest dance moves were practiced and Ethan even tried out his break dancing! Moments of joy and acceptance in a learning environment-simply put, peace. Timely that the next song was "Where is the Love" by Black Eyed Peas. 2nd grade voices singing in harmony!

A New Year

We are off in a new year, only three weeks, and it feels like we never left. I write that not with frustration, but rather with joy that our school is filled with the kind of learning that continues from year to year. Our students have such a high expectation of themselves and such an eagerness to learn that we have all just picked up where we left off.

I heard this week that our GSP room was a "magical place". It seems that it is only magical when young minds are occupying the space! What a wonderful experience my profession lends...magic and wonder!

Welcome back!
