First Day of 2nd Grade!

I can't believe my baby is in 2nd grade!  (The first nine week grading period actually just ended Friday).

Brycen and cousin Ashlyn (they have the same teacher this year).

 

Brycen has the same teacher I had in second grade (twenty years ago!).  The same class room and desks and everything. It was kind of surreal walking in there.  She is an amazing teacher and I'm so thankful he got her (Mrs. Klipsch). 

 

He is still loving school this year and doing great.  I'm so thankful school comes easily for him so far.  Spelling and reading are his favorites (just like his momma!).  He says math is his enemy (again just like his momma), but he is still doing well- he just has to try harder in it!  He met his AR goal with three weeks left to go in the grading period (and could of before then, but he is a tad forgetful about bringing his AR book home each night). 

 

Each night they have the following homework: Study spelling, read their story of the week in reading book, read their AR book, study Math facts (flash cards and practice timed testing), and 15 min. of free reading.  It does take up quite a bit of time, but we have our routine down and B doesn't complain.  My biggest complaint is the sweet little two year old wanting to "help" :)   I give him his own "homework" to do at the bar while I'm working with B, but somehow he always ends up spreading papers and flashcards EVERYWHERE! :)
