B.E.A.R. Day!

We had a beary good day in second grade today!  This year our school theme is B.E.A.R. or Be Enthusiastic About Reading.  Everyone brought their favorite stuffed animal to school today and from 12:50 - 1:05, the whole school stopped working and started reading! It was an amazing sight to see!  Our room was so quiet, you could hear a pin drop!  The animals loved all the stories and I took a few pictures to commemorate the moment. We are having so much fun in second grade!




 We loved having our animals at school today!




 Sometimes we were a little silly!




 Everyone found  a comfortable spot to read!





 We spread out all over the classroom!




 Someone even took the teachers' chair!





 Second graders were reading fiction and nonfiction books.  One friend even had the Toys R Us Christmas circular catalog.  I thought that was creative; especially when he told me that he was reading the names of the toys and their prices.  He combined reading and math, which always makes a teacher happy!





We had a special day with our stuffed friends.  I hope we can do it again soon!
