Hooray for WINNING!

I am a very competitive person and I LOVE when we can win anything and everything.  A few weeks ago we had the canned food drive.  The student teachers in the building organized it and second grade collected more food than first grade.  So, we WON! Besides the winning part, it was awesome that so many of them were able to donate to the food pantry.  Second grade collected about 300 cans and first grade collected just under 250.  That's pretty great for only a week of collecting. Since we did win, we received popsicles at the end of the week.  The kids were very grateful!

Today we started poetry.  I am so excited to see their imaginations at work.  Today we wrote acrostic poems using their names.  Over the next few weeks we will be writing A LOT!
