November 30- December 4













I hope everyone had a fun Thanksgiving and enjoyed being with family! We had a great Thanksgiving party on Wednesday. We made our own pies and also made a fun Tic-Tac-Toe game to take home. A big THANKS to Becky VanLehn, Laurie Caldwell, and Valorie Foster for putting our party together. Here's some pictures of the students doing our Thanksgiving Reader's Theater!

Last week we also made metamorphic rocks out of Starburst. The kids really had fun with this and also understood what makes these rocks metamorphic (heat and pressure)!

We miss you Caleb; have fun in Arizona!

This Wednesday the Second Grade is having Apple Day! Please send your child to school with an apple on Tuesday so I can get them peeled and cut. We will be doing fun apple activities and also using descriptive writing. As a class we will create a yummy apple treat!

Math: We will take our Topic 5 test on Monday.

This week's math focus:
  • Use quarters, dimes, nickels, and pennies to show amounts to 99 cents using as many quarters as possible.
  • Use coins to show amounts equal to one dollar.
  • Compare amounts to one dollar.
  • Create, model, and solve problems that involve making change.
