This year our second grade students will be doing a series of lessons about Froggy and his Friends. Each month we will have a different story/puppet show in which Froggy and different friends will learn a very important life lesson. Every month the life lesson will be different. This month Froggy learned the importance of doing his best in school. Froggy's friend, Rachel the rabbit helped him learn this lesson. If you have a 2nd grade student, ask them if they can tell you the 5 Rules for Doing Your Best from our story!
First grade is an exciting time, filled with new firsts every day! During our FIRST classroom guidance lesson this year we read Jamie Lee Curtis and Laura Cornell's book 'My Brave Year of Firsts' and discussed all the exciting things that happened to Frankie in the story. We talked about the feelings that we have when new things happen and the important lessons we often learn along the way...Students brainstormed something they have done for the FIRST time since starting FIRST grade and made their own 'page from the book' to take home and show their parents of their special 'FIRST!'
