Hope you all had a fabulous summer. We are now in our THIRD week of firstgdrade here in P2 and we have already been leaning so much!
Every month we have a school-wide Book of the Month. For the month of August the book is "HaveYou Filled a Bucket Today?" It is a book that teaches us that being nice to others makes us feel better about our selves. And when we are mean and hurtful to others we are also hurting ourselves. It is such a great book!
On Tuesday, after only 9 days of class we filled our marble jar! Whenever the entire class is showing that they are being respectful or making good decisions marbles go in to the jar. When the jar is filled we get a party!
On Wednesday we got to celebrate this achievement with a Popsicle party!!!
This week began our school-wide Million Miles program. Every Tuesday and Thursday kids can walk laps around the D field from 7am til 7:45am. Each lap earns a blue ticket and 5 tickets equals a mile. We already have 177 tickets! That's 35.4 miles we have walked/run as a class in only 2 days!
On Friday we read a poem called "Our Bike". It is about a girl and her family who ride a single bike together, even the cat! Four seats on one bike! Can you imagine?!? Afterwards we each drew a picture and wrote what we enjoy doing with our families.
(We are eating ice cream.)
(We are going to the volcano.)
A giant mahalo to everyone who has already donated to our "Pennies for Puna" jar. In just one week we have already collected $29.04!!!! The fundraiser continues til Tuesdsay, September 2nd so it is not too late to bring in any change you have hanging around your house, car or under your couch!
Hope you all have a fabulous weekend!
