Parent's Day & Heritage Day

We had a very full and exciting week!

It was so nice to have parents visit our classroom on Thursday. The students did an excellent job performing, “Mushroom in the Rain.” We missed the students that were absent, but the ones that were here did a great job filling in. We will be doing the Reader’s Theater one more time when everyone is at school and I will record it and send it to you.

Here are some pictures of parents visiting our class:

We also had a fabulous time at Heritage Day. The middle school students did a great job of teaching the kids about life in the 1600s.

Just when I thought this week couldn’t get any more exciting, sweet Elena lost a tooth!

 

I hope that you all had a refreshing weekend!! Looking forward to another week with my super second graders!!

Habitats

We had a short week, but packed a lot of learning into the past three days! 

We are continuing to learn about different habitats in science.
On Monday the students did an activity to discover the amazing way God created ducks to live in freshwater habitats. 

 On Wednesday we compared and contrasted wetland and freshwater habitats. We went outside to observe the freshwater habitat behind our school.

 

 Our theme for in chapel this year is, "The Way of Wisdom." Each week we have been learning about what it means to build our lives on the firm foundation of God and His Word. Mr. Joel Sims spoke to us about what can happen when storms come in our lives. Mr. Sims is an architect and he used his experience to make connections between the importance of a solid foundation in a building and in our lives. He had students from each grade build towers on different kinds of foundations. After shaking each foundation we saw that the tower built on the solid foundation withstood the storm.

Have a wonderful long weekend, I'm looking forward to seeing super 2nd graders on Monday!
