Meet Froggy!

This is Froggy. He is going to be our class pet during the next several months. Froggy is excited because he gets to go home with each of his classmates!

Froggy helped me prepare Monday's Morning Message for the Activboard.

Froggy also helped me correct some reading tests.

Froggy made new friends.

Unity Day!

Five weeks...Where did they go?

It is hard to believe that as I post my first blog entry of the year we have already completed 25 days of school. With our daily schedule it seems that time flies, especially since second grade began WIN Time a couple of weeks ago.

Conferences are fast approaching, and reminders will be sent home in the next few days. If you receive a time that will not work for you, please let me know so we can find a time that will. I believe it is important for us to sit down together and discuss how we can best serve your child so they can progress as learners.

I have really appreciated your involvement and willingness to check math home work and sign it each day. As I continue to make changes in our daily schedule it is likely your child will have less time to complete work during class time and will need to do some of it at home. Please continue to check your child's Take Home folder for homework and other information.



 

Sun, Wind, Rain...Field Day!

Walk for Life...and simply to stay warm!

Our Trip to Thomsen's Greenhouse

We Love Jellies!

They don't have eyes. They don't have digestive systems. They don't have skeletons. They don't even have brains. What are they? They are jellyfish.

We recently read a nonfiction selection about jellyfish and had an opportunity to learn a lot of facts about them. We also watched a couple of videos that showed how jellyfish look and move, and even how some sting when something bumps up against them. Did you know the venom of a box jellyfish is more powerful than that of a cobra? For a culminating activity we created crayon resist pictures of jellyfish. We used crayons to draw jellyfish and then painted over them using water color paints. We had a lot of fun creating our pictures!
