These first two days have flown by.  Today we read David Goes to School and discussed what David does that is wrong and what is right.  The students enjoyed seeing what a problem he is and of course nobody in our class would every act like that!  We are making our own "Davids" and will write about rules and why they are important.

In reading we are working on short vowels and blends.  We are learning the routine and expectations of our learning stations (word work, fluency, books and writing.)  I will add listening station in the next few days.  I have to say that I have a wonderful class this year.  They are doing very well staying on task in stations, for which I am grateful!

Have a great week!

Welcome to 2nd Grade!

Last night was a blast!  We have never had a school supply drop-off before and were thrilled at the response.  I believe 15 out of my 20 students came.  I enjoyed meeting and chatting with each of you.  Our first day of school should go smoothly now that we have so many of our supplies out of the way.

We have many routines to learn these first few weeks but we will jump right into our academic learning on the very first day.  

Spelling:  CVC words with blends and digraphs (review from first grade)  Words on Friday's test will be flag, skip, plus, print, jump, fast, slept, stamp, bath, with, when and brush.  This year word wall words will also be on the last spelling test at the end of the grading period so have your child learn to read and write those words as well.  Word Wall Words:  was, off, because, friend

Other subjects will be added later today.

My email address is dcooper@mesquiteisd.org   Email is the quickest way to get in touch with me although you may call the school  972-882-5101 and leave a message at the desk.

I am looking forward to getting to know my new students.  We are going to have a great year!
