WELCOME BACK!

Mrs. T. spent a lot of time getting the C-2 classroom ready for the first day of school! The photos below show what our room looked like right before school began in September. Our classroom theme is BASEBALL, and we are called "The Second Grade All-Stars"! There are four table groups, and each group has a baseball name - Group 1 is called "First Base", Group 2 is called "Second Base", Group 3 is called "Third Base", and Group 4 is called "Home Plate". You can see each table group's name sign hanging above their group. We call our class meeting area (which is a large space in one corner of our classroom) "The All-Stars Dugout". There are baseball tablecloths at the tables where some of our classroom library book baskets are located. There are other baseball decorations hanging around the classroom as well!

GETTING READY:

FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL:

"WELCOME BACK" ASSEMBLY

Principal Hunter and the Maple Staff welcomed the students back with a special assembly on the third day of school. Mrs. Hunter shared a PowerPoint presentation with the children about the school rules.

eSurg Visit, First Day of School!

The C-2 students had surprise visitors on the first day of school! During the summer, C-2 had been "adopted" by a local company, eSurg. eSurg had read our ad on the Adopt-A-Classroom.org website, and adopted us for the school year! On the first day of school, employees from eSurg (a medical products supply company located in Pioneer Square) brought each child in the class a brand new backpack filled with school supplies! Here are photos from eSurg's special visit:

FUNDRAISER ASSEMBLY

In early September, the entire school attended a special assembly to learn about the upcoming fall fundraiser. Maple students sold items from the Elliott Bay fundraising catalogue to earn money to help pay for the cost of field trips and assemblies.
