Indoor recess

In 2nd grade we had indoor recess because it was too snowy on the blacktop to go outside. At our 1st recess we played with blocks, games, such as checkers, Sorry, and Uno, and drew pictures. 4 girls built a town with a castle and a village. 
At lunch recess we did indoor recess on GoNoodle.com. It is fun because we have a chance to move around with music and fun videos. The videos help us know the fun movements we can do. One of our class favorites is the Wishy, Washy, Washer Woman on Moose Tube. Another one is PopSiKo 2.0 by Koo Koo Kanga Roo. Check it out!

Blanket Fort Friday

We work each day to be a respectful, safe learning community in our room and around our school. When we do a really good job other adults notice and give our class a compliment. We keep track our our compliments by building Mr. Potato Head. When he is all assembled we know we have received 20 class compliments. Then it is time to celebrate together as a community. We vote as a class to decide what the celebration will be. Today is Blanket Fort Friday. Everybody could bring a blanket and/or pillow to build a huge fort to read in.
First the building had to happen. Then everyone settle in with books and flashlights. What an adventurous day of reading in Room 1.
