Pajama Day!

This is one of my favorite days of the year.  Second Graders are so cute in their pj's!

Spirit Week - Favorite T-Shirt

Plants

This month we have started a unit on plants.  Students are learning the parts of a plant and their functions and what a plant needs to survive.  Ask your child what kind of seeds are planted in the cups.

    

          

          

          

Fun in the sun!

We just had to go out this afternoon for an extra recess!  

           

           

Reading Buddies

Friday afternoon Room 11 joined Mrs Curkov's kindergarten class.  My wonderful second graders read a book to a kindergarten friend and then they colored bookmarks together.  I was very proud of my class.  They did a great job!

                      

                      

                      

                      

Measurement

This week we started a new unit in math.  It is all about measurement.  We started by measuring our partners height, their head size and shoe length to the nearest centimeter. 

 

                

                

                

D.A.R.E.

Officer Fontain has spent every Thursday in March teaching Room 11 about safety.  Students have learned a lot and have enjoyed his stories.

             

Valentine Party!

What a fun party!  It was filled with good food and bags of "love"!

          

          

Healthy Teeth

YesterdayJen Burt, came into our classroom and taught us all how to keep our teeth healthy.  She explained how important it is to brush twice a day, floss once a day and eat the right foods.  She did an excellent job.  The students loved it!  Jen also gave each student a goody bag to help them on their journey to a beautiful smile!

                

100th Day Puzzles

I forgot to post these pictures last week.  Every year on the one hundredth day of school I have students work together to complete a one hundred piece puzzle.  I love this activity!  Look at how proud they are!

             

             

February

I am sorry it has been a few weeks since my last post but I have been very busy with assessments.  I can not believe it is report card time already.  The year is just flying by!  Here are some highlights of the past two weeks.

          

          

       

     Today was the 100th day of school!  We did a lot of activities based around 100.  One thing we did was to read One Hundred Hungry Ants by Elinor J. Pinczes.  Students then made large ant arrays.  This is one of my favorite 100 activities!

          

          

January

We have been very busy in Room 11!  Last week we started a unit on balance and this week we have expanded our study of non fiction to biographies.

    Students are balancing paper crayfish on their fingers.

    Here, students are balancing triangles and arches on a popsicle stick using counterweights.

    This class loves reading biographies!

Happy New Year!

It is great to be back.  I love this class!
