The Latest Activities in 2nd Grade

Dear Families,

Your students have been busy working & creating.  Last week we learned about Veteran's Day and made cards to send to soldiers serving our country abroad.

   









On Friday, Reyna came in to teach her weekly architecture class.  The students learned about how to make a sturdy structure with reinforcement.  They created their own skyscrapers with marshmallows & toothpicks.  It was so much fun and the students learned a lot about why working slowly and carefully is important. 


 

This week our class will be talking a lot about what we have in our lives to be thankful for.  We will be doing an art project and a writing sample to show our gratitude for the many wonderful people & things we have in our lives.  Don't forget to join us on Friday, November 19th for our Thanksgiving Feast!  We will be having the feast in the classroom from 12:15 - 1:15.  We still need another main course & a few more side dishes.  Thank you!

Thursday, November 18th is the class play.  Please join us in our old classroom from 2:30-3:00 for the play.  The students have been practicing for many weeks & are excited to showcase their talent!  There will be snacks to follow.

* Remember, there will be no school the week of November 22nd for the Thanksgiving Break.

* Upcoming Field Trip:  January 7th We will be going to the Reuben H. Fleet Science Center for a workshop on meteorology.  More information to come after the Thanksgiving break.
