We loved exploring all the different exhibits in the museum.

Thank you chaperones for keeping up with us ;)!

A FEW PICS FROM 5-26-17

One of our Second Grade classmates got to switch places

with Mr. Cyr and become principal on Wednesday!

He did a great job and it was fun having

Mr. Cyr become a second grader!

We Face Timed with our California Pen Pals.

We had fun writing to them all year!

Fire Fighter was in today to teach us about hot surfaces and

what to do if we ever get burned. It's been great having him

in throughout the year!

Happy Long Weekend!

Hi! The weeks keep going faster and faster! Our musical is coming along nicely. The kids are working very hard. It’s definitely the hardest show we have ever put on. It’s amazing how much the kids can remember on the stage especially considering their ages!

We added another poem to our Candy Poetry Anthology. This week we worked with Acrostic Poetry.

Mrs. Logan did a fun project with us. We wrote recipes for our “dream” pie. We illustrated our pies after. The kids definitely were thinking Willy Wonka style pies...there was lots of candy in their ingredients!

This is our last week of Spelling / Dictation tests. This also means it is the end of official homework. However, it’s still a good idea make sure your child gets into the habit of reading every day :)!

Firefighter Pete came to visit today. Ask your child what s/he learned.

We had fun playing a grammar game and

SECOND GRADE NEWSLETTER 5-19-17

SECOND GRADE NEWS 5-19-17

Hi! I am kind of freaking out because I just realized it is the 19th and not the 12th! I just lost a whole week with the kids...ahhh! Needless to say we have been very busy this week! We took our first full round of NWEAs. The kids did great!! I am so impressed with how hard they worked! They should be very proud of themselves! We had a popsicle and old fashioned candy (You remember those dot candies on the long strips of white paper?) party to celebrate Thursday afternoon.

We are off-book with our musical!! No more scripts from here on out. We will head to the stage on Monday to start learning dances and actions. It’s coming along great!!

We learned about trees and actually got to plant one today.
