Our Cafeteria Reward

We earned another reward for excellent behavior in the cafeteria, "The Fancy Lounge."  Although since it was our Past Day in second grade we renamed it appropriately :)

Dr. Seuss Week

Last week, we celebrated Dr. Seuss with tons of literacy activities, read alouds, and of course exciting themes to show our love of reading and learning!

We read The Tooth Book, discussed dental health, and dressed like a dentist or a fairy. 

Mrs. Martin came in and read I Can Read With My Eyes Shut :) Thank you Mrs. Martin!

Mrs. Yontosh read Oh, the Places You Can Go! and discussed the importance of education.

Circus Day- we had many adorable clowns!  Hope and Braiden were even asked to participate in our MW circus.

We showed appreciation for Fox in Sox by letting loose with a dance party in the cafeteria.

Mrs. Amy and Keri Carroll (the star of Annie) read aloud  Horton Hears a Who and discussed how reading lead to their interests  in theater and acting.

100th Day!!!

On Thursday we celebrated our 100th day in second grade!!!  Can you believe it?!  It feels like it was just yesterday that they were walking through the classroom door on the first day.  We had an exciting 100th day.  We did 100th day exercises, saw what we could do in 100 seconds, discussed life 100 years ago and 100 years in the future, and enjoyed our 100th day snack.  I am looking forward to all the learning that will continue to take place in our class!

Valentine's Day

After all the snow day and delays, I was very thankful to have the kiddos for Valentine's Day!  It's always nice to just have fun and enjoy each other's company.  We played games, decorated our bags for our valentines,  enjoyed treats, and celebrated our friendships :)  Here is a small taste of our afternoon...

Play

They got pretty creative with props :)

Narrator

For our end of unit fluency presentations, children acted out the play Sled Dog Days.  This allowed them to get creative, while also improving their fluency while reading.  They did such an amazing job!  I think we have some future actors in the class!

Goodbye :(

On Friday, we said goodbye to our good friend Ethan who moved to another area.  We shared some memories, had some fun, and enjoyed a treat on his last day.  We will miss you Ethan! Good luck at your new school!

Guest Speaker

This week we read about and discussed how weather is measured and predicted.  Mr. D, who works at Accuweather, came in to discuss his job and how scientists go about studying the weather.  We were full of questions, and truly enjoyed our weather unit!
