Fun Run.

The Fun Run was a great event! Students did a great job and persevered during the run/walk.  All students received a bracelet with a foot charm.  We will add to this each year. After the Fun Run, students enjoyed an assembly about bike safety.  We enjoyed a few minutes of peace and quiet in the classroom!

USA Day.

Students looked wonderful in their red, white and blue today. Last week we earned another classroom reward.  Today we celebrated it with bomb pop popsicles -- worked out great for USA day.  

Celebrating the last weeks of school.

Here are some class photos from Rainbow day.  Students wore all or mostly one color.

Science.

The field trip was a hit minus a little bit of rain.  I am so glad the students were able to go and experience some of their learning first hand. Thank you to all the chaperones that made it possible.

Students have been enjoy Science lessons with the other second grade classes each Monday.  Videos have been shown to teach and reinforce their learning on various animal topics.  Students have been doing a wonderful job! I told the students I would post the most recent video along with others.

Students are anxiously awaiting the next phases in the life of the mealworms.  More to come later.

Author's Craft / Robert Munsch.

We will take time to explore Robert Munsch as an author as we learn about Author's Craft.  Students are excellent detectives and have found many examples of craft that writers use.

Mealworms.

Students observe the mealworms weekly.  So far not many changes have taken place. We are keeping track of their population and watching them grow. Students enjoy predicting what might happen.
