Friday Football Reader

It's that time of year again - Football season!! In second grade, that means we get the chance to have a football player read to us each Friday morning. This week, Connor read "Froggy Goes to Camp" to our class.

Earth Day

Today is Earth Day! We celebrated by reading The Lorax by Dr. Seuss. After reading the Lorax, the class cut out their own Lorax mustaches. The class then wrote about Earth Day using the prompt "If I was the Lorax, I would..."

Special Guest

This morning, we had a very special guest visit. Dean Jacobs stopped by to talk about his world travels. He shared some amazing pictures of his trip along the Amazon. The class was so excited to hear about this part of the world. It was neat to see people that live so differently from us. 

Then, he came to our room and did a 'Writer's Workshop'. He showed the class step by step how he put together his own book. This couldn't have come at a better time, since the class is working on their very own animal research and writing. You can find out more about Dean Jacobs at www.deanjacobs.org. 

Grandparent's Day

The second graders really enjoyed Grandparent's Day. Our grandparents were able to watch our dress rehearsal of our Spring Concert. Following the concert, the students were able to take their grandparents to enjoy cookies and juice or coffee. They were then able to head to the book fair. Also, they spent some time in the classroom where they were able to pick from several different activities. Here are some pictures of the class with their grandparents:

Snow much fun!!!

The class is loving all of the snow on the playground. 

Please help your child remember their snow-gear until the snow is gone.
