First Week of Sunshine!

What a great first week here on the Sunshine Farm! We were introduced to a whole field of farmers, their tools, animals, and even started our own crop of vegetables in our classroom! Our Second Graders bloomed during the week as we learned the rituals and routines of our classroom. We have started our workshops, Reader's, Writer's ,Skills Block, Math, and Science! All of our students tried something new as we read, "Picky Ms. Pickle" and learned that Second Grade Farming might be different, but we can't be worried about new things, we just need to try them and we will like them! Please enjoy photos from our first farming week.

Dear Parents and Students,

We are so excited to welcome back our Sunshine Band as well as some new faces as we start our Sunshine Farm with cultivating a community of success :D! We hope that you have kept up your reading and are ready to hit the ground plowing as we start Second Grade. We are going to have a fantastic time learning and growing as we dig deeper to grow more fruitful results.
