Wonderful, wiggly, wriggly worms!











We learned that worms help the earth by loosening the soil. They also leave castings behind so plants can grow better. We touched the worms and they felt squishy and slimy. Mrs. Morris wasn't crazy about touching them so the boys and girls helped out.

Socks and Slipper Club


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!

First Day Farm Fun




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!

End of the year


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!

Field Day












We had our field day activities on Tuesday, June 8th. It was a blast! We had a relay race, jumped the hurdles, threw nerf javelins, played tug of war, and much more. The coaches passed out orange CCE field day bracelets and we got to dance! Not your normal day in second grade at all.

The Butterfly Release




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...
