Classroom Responsibility

One of the choices, after filling a sticker chart, is to take care of our class pet Myrtle for one week. It is the student's responsibility to make sure she has fresh water and food daily.  She has been very well taken care of this year.  Isaac says she is so soft and it is his favorite thing to do!!  He loves to feed her hay out of his hand and pet her.

Camp Out With A Good Book

2nd grade celebrated Family Reading Night on Thursday, November 19 with the theme of "Camp Out with a Good Book".  Second grade families were invited to come into school to enjoy activities centered around Language Arts. When families arrived, they had an opportunity to have a photo taken as a keepsake.  They rotated through four different stations.  The campsite was full of tents, books, and a campfire.  They read under the stars while enjoying a snack.  Each student and his/her family created a handprint fire craft.  The hallway was filled with games centered around sight words and vocabulary words.  Families also read clues on mystery bags and made inferences as to what camping item was inside each bag.  "Camping Out With a Good Book" helped make reading a fun adventure.

Book It

Don't forget tomorrow is the last day to turn in October Book It slips.  November slips will come home on Monday.

Plants, Plants, Plants!!

Both second grades have been studying plants in Science.  We have been observing our bean seeds for ten days and keeping a journal on their growth.  We have discussed plant parts, the jobs of each plant part, and the plant life cycle.  We have also been measuring our plants in centimeters.  Plants have been an exciting part of our Science class lately!!!
