As a special reward, students can wear their socks and slippers in our classroom on Fridays - if they turn in all of their homework assignments on time. Today we had loads of cute, fuzzy, comfortable slippers walking around our room! Even the teachers had their shoes off!
On our very first day of second grade we moved through centers to learn about life on the farm. We listened to a bee keeper tell us about pollination and tasted fresh honey. We got to plant a green vegetable, see tractors, eat watermellon, and enjoy the petting zoo. Back in the classroom we read books about the first day of school and watched a video about one of our favorite books, Click, Clack, Moo - Cows That Type!
This is the final blog post for this school year. It's been a GREAT year with some of the best kids ever! We've had a lot of fun and we've also learned so much. Your teachers will miss you. Have a safe and enjoyable summer and keep reading those chapter books! We love you all!
Over the long Memorial Day weekend all of our caterpillars turned into beautiful butterflies! After observing them for a few days we let them go in our butterfly garden. The circle of life continues...
We're observing our caterpillars and labelling their body parts on a diagram. We've seen a play about the lifecycle of a monarch butterfly. We're creating caterpillar and butterfly crafts daily. We have lots and lots of books about caterpillars and butterflies. I guess you could say we're becoming experts!
