Past and Present

Today in class we read Ox-Cart Man. We compared our lives now with the lives of families in the past. Discuss with your child how things have changed to make our lives easier.

Scarecrow Day

In honor of fall...we dressed up like scarecrows! Thank you to all the parents for the fabulous costumes and for coming out to our parade! What a great way to finish October and welcome November!

Pumpkin Math

On Friday one of our sweet mommy (thanks Mrs. H!) brought our class pumpkins! So instead of visiting the patch...the patch came to us! Check out our video!

Poetry Celebration

Since our second attempt at a Pumpkin Patch Field Trip was once again "rained-out" we got to do the next best thing...2nd Grade Poetry Celebration!! Our second grade reading buddies put on two performances of "The Pumpkin Man" and some friends recited poems. We were even treated to some snacks!

Red Ribbon Week

Today a group of high school students called "Vivance" came and performed for the school. They stressed the importance of being drug free through their performance. Some of us got to get up and dance!

In honor of "Drug Free Week" we were so lucky to have a visit from a DEA helicopter! We watched it land, saw it up close and we even got to ask the pilot some questions!

Reading Buddies

We are so lucky to have 2nd grade Reading Buddies. They get to come visit us every Friday. We work on reading and looking for popcorn words! It is also SO fun when we see them around our school!

Jack-o-lantern Writing

Check out these GREAT writers! Today we used our circle maps we created last week to write about our Jack-o-lanterns.
