Hi Families,
Today we did math - I liked it. We added numbers and used number bonds. We did math stations. My favorite math station was blocks. We went to art. I read with Ms. Petzold. We had time to reading, we wrote a question on sticky notes because good readers write questions. We got to borrow books. We sat on the floor and read on pillows. We had a busy Tuesday.

Hi families,
Today we danced and played music. We got to go on the big playground.
We drew the cover for our Friday journals (we will send those home next Friday -- more informationt to come about these).We counted by 10s and did jumping jacks and star jumps. We took a loooong math test (this was the district wide pre-test for second grade). We read our books and got to pick new books. We earned Friday Free Time by working hard and being good. We had lunch - I like lunch because my mom always sends me notes.

Thank you to all families who were able to make it to open house last night. If you did not make it, a packet of information will be coming home on Monday. If you were not able to make it and would like to come in and discuss the curriculum and second grade in general, please let me know! I'd love to meet with you.
Have a great weekend!

Hi Families,
We learned everything in class like math problems and solving number bonds. We went to music and the library. We learned about fact families. It was party cloudy and really hot. We have math homework tonight.
It was a busy, hot, day! We are so lucky to have air conditioning on days like today.
Love,
Group Four
Reminder: Open house is tomorrow, Thursday, September 10th at 6pm. We are classroom 217. I hope to see you there!

Hi families,
Today, we got to do math centers. We learned about ten frames. We practiced counting up and down and by tens. We went to art. We did math and Ms. Petzold timed us for sixty seconds to see how many problems we could do. We had lunch. We wrote about what we did this weekend for our morning work and small moment stories. We read Scaredy Squirrel Makes A Friend.
Love,
Team 1
Remember: Open house is this Thursday night, September 10th! Please join me in our classroom (room 217) for a short presentation at 6 p.m. to learn about our curriculum and classroom procedures.

Hi Families,
We learned about how long you can read for at once, which is called stamina. We went to physical education. We learned what a bar graph is and we made one about how we get to school. We played magic clean up to safely clean our room. We played outside at recess. Some of us had pizza or hamburgers for lunch. We played with someone on the playground.
Thank you for a great first week! Remember no school tomorrow (Friday) or Monday -- we will see you Tuesday!!
Smiles,

Second Day of School -- Wednesday, September 2, 2015
Hi families,
Today we made friendship bracelets with patterns on them. We made castles out of cups working with partners we sit with. We went to the library. We did some surveys to learn about each other with stickers. We went to music. We went outside for recess.
Love,
Ms. Petzold's Class
A note from Ms. Petzold:
Here are some pictures of our responses to the get to know you questions from today. We will work on analyzing these as a class tomorrow and will discuss them using the math terminology: more than, less than, equal to, most, and least. We will also learn about how other students around the world get to and from school. Additionally, we will make a bar graph of how we get to school each day. It is going to be another busy, fun day of school tomorrow. Students should have a note about the week in their home school folders and a poem we learned about today. Please let me know if you the note/poem did not make it home -- that happens sometimes (cypetzold@methuen.k12.ma.us). Please fill out the paperwork that came in the blue folder yesterday and get it back to school as soon as possible. Thank you!

Our First Day of School!
Hi families. Here were some of our favorite things that happened on our first day of school written in students words:
-We played with puzzles (as a cooperative learning/team building activity)
-We made new friends.
-We got to go to art!
-Recess!!
-Lunch because it was very yummy.
-Yes, the pizza was yummy.
-Don't forget the hot dogs, too.
-Reading. I liked my book on sharks.
-When we go to the classroom to learn new things.
-I like learning to read better.
-When Ms. Petzold made us have fun.
-We read Elmer and First Day Jitters (We also did a writing activity with each of these stories -- one should have made it home today about what students were nervous about on the first day, the other was about what makes them unique like Elmer in the story -- these are hanging in our room and if you come to open house you will get to see them!)
Stop by again soon to see what else we are learning!
Smiles,
Ms. Petzold's Class
