Set the Stage to Engage!- A Way of Life in 2nd Grade!

10-27-16  Set the Stage to Engage!- A Way of Life in 2nd Grade!

To us, #setthestagetoengage is not just a hashtag.  It’s a way of life.  In 2nd grade, we believe in getting kids motivated, up and moving, and developing a love of learning.  So far this year, we’ve done two major events that our kids have LOVED!

Writing Boot Camp:

We held our 1st Annual Writing Boot Camp on September 9th.  For this fun day, we had our kids dress in camo, but we didn’t tell them why.  Along came General Capital Letters, General Spaces, General Punctuation, and General Makes Sense.  

We set up an obstacle course, and once completed, students had to work together to build a 5 Star Sentence!  Capital letters, spaces, punctuation, makes sense, NEATNESS COUNTS!    We had so much fun!

Sight Word Workout:

We held our 1st Sight Word Workout on Oct. 10th.  The kids came to school dressed in work out clothes, and we had our own Olympics in the classroom.  The students read our sight words, did excercises, and had fun learning!

#setthestagetoengage is a way of life for us, and it’s one we plan to continue!
