Second Grade

"I love second grade.  

 

First our teacher gave us

popcorn at "Meet Your Teacher" night
because my family 'popped in to say hello.'

Then we get to use iPads
to learn and have fun too.

I never want to be sick or miss a thing!
Mrs. Fuller makes every day great.

Never Too Many

"You can never have too many candy canes."  ~Cody

Santa Knew Our Names!

"Santa knew my name, my sister's and my brother's too.  How can he remember us all?    ~Wade

Busy Lady

"I heard that Santa brought his wife with him to Parkside from the North Pole.  With all those cookies to bake, how did she have a chance to get away and come here to see us?"    ~Nikali

What About the White House Christmas Tree?

"I bet the President has his Christmas tree up already."  ~Simon

Bo Inspects the 2012 White House Holiday Decorations

So Thankful

"My neighbor's son is in the military and he spent Thanksgiving last year in Afghanistan.  This week he's home, celebrating the holiday with his parents.  What a blessing." 

Wise Words

During reading time a pair of Miss Negley's students were attempting to match up pictures with
correct letter sounds.  One was having difficulty and his buddy patted him on the back saying,
"You are trying hard and not giving up.  That is good because it's all about the learning.  We
get there in different ways."  ~Chris

Volleyball Anyone?

 

"I like the games Mr. Williams helps us with."  ~Mason 

Lots of Brain Power!

Miss Williamson-  "Let's wrap up this lesson because we have run out of time for today.  I'll see you all tomorrow and don't forget---bring your brain."
Alex- "I  better leave my brain, can I leave it here on your table....because I might forget it tomorrow."
Miss Williamson- "Oh my gosh Alex!  Won't you need your brain in class this afternoon?"
Alex- (pointing to his head and winking) "No, because I've got thousands of them up here!"

Sunday Thought

"I like how Parkside looks in the fall with all the friendly decorations."  ~Matthew

Here's to another chance for youngsters to grow, learn,
understand, and make friends.  We hope you all have a great
week because being a part of a child's life is a very special thing.

Yummy!

"How are we going to work all morning?  Can't
you smell that yummy stuff in the cafeteria?"    ~Rylee

I Passed!

"At Night Owls I was able to get all my homework done.  So Mrs. Petty let me
 get into Lexia and guess what?  I passed a level and got some chocolate too!"  ~Elijah

It's Not Worth It

"Getting in trouble means you have to go to the office.  You sit in this small room and all you can hear is papers running on the copier.  They are nice to you but I've learned my lesson.  We should all be good and stay in class with teachers who love us and teach us new things."  ~Alex   

Willing and Able

"If my homework is done, can I help someone else with their assignments?      ~Trace

Let's Measure It

"Guess what?  Mr. Williams took us out on the BIG field where the football players
practice.  I've never been there before but that sure was fun!  I think it's called
Loeb Field.  Hey, let's ask him if we can go out there again so we can measure it."    ~Blace

Delivered with a BIG "Smile"

"Do you know what we like?  Miss Helderman is teaching us to read.  
 And do you know what else?  She lets me be her helper!"   ~Gregory

An "Early Bird" Conversation (7:10 A.M) in the Gym

"Our class pet is so neat!  You know, not every teacher keeps one in their room.  You have to really like animals and know that kids love them too, before you take on the responsibility of a rat. But that's just the kind of teacher she is, always doing something interesting in class."    ~Bradley

Bus Duty Chat 3:15 P.M.

"Know what?  I had a really good day! 
 I'm going to like first grade.  See you on Monday.  ~Robert
