Second Grade News

My Second-grade students continue to enjoy Dr. Seuss and All the Places We Will Go.  In Science they learned how important it is to Save the Bees, our BOCES Unit, and to use the school yard as their science book.  I asked my students what they learned about the plants we grew in our classroom and they said they learned that we had to water the plants to keep them healthy and the plants also need sun and nutrients, like soil, to live.  We measured the plants and graphed their height.  
The children can’t wait for Friday STREAM, (Science, Technology, Religion, Engineering, Arts and Math). Here are some comments from one of the activities.  “We got to build Noah’s Ark. We had to design an object that could float for 30 seconds out of recycled materials. It had to have a door and a window.  We had to put 3 pairs of little animals on the ark to see if it could float.”
After Christmas we are going to learn our multiplication facts and celebrate our mastery with a hot fudge sundae party.
Another favorite of the children is Fun Thursday.  For their good behavior they are rewarded with a fun time on Thursday.
    The Sacrament of Reconciliation will take place in March.  This sacrament is the foundation for the Sacrament of Holy Communion in third grade.   The children have been learning the Act of Contrition.
Here are some hints of what is to come after Christmas: a class room production will be in the spring, and meeting through literature, art, theater and writing, Wilbur and Charlotte from Charlotte’s Web, will be new students in the classroom.

My Favorite Quote: " I call my students 'my kids' because in our year together they aren't just kids on my class list, they become a part of my heart."
