Award For Our Class

Cassell won an award for our class.  Her orthodontist, Dr. Smith, brought it and gave it to her in front of the class.  Cassell's name was in a drawing and was picked!  Lucky us!  Now our class has $50 to spend.  We are trying to decide what we should buy.  Decisions, decisions!



Cassell hands Mrs. Games the check!

She gave us toothbrushes and lots of information.
Thank you Dr. Smith!

Spelling Bee

Here are our Spelling Bee classroom representatives:  Brayden, Hannah, and Cassell.

Brayden spells her word.

Brayden anxiously waits for her next word.

We had our spelling bee against third grade.  We didn't win but Brayden got third.  Cassell and Hannah did a terrific job too!  It's scary up there!

Adjectives - Using -er and -est

Mr. Blanc helped us make a list of adjectives.  We had to write sentences and draw pictures showing our knowledge of comparative and superlative adjectives.





Look at our Adjective Art!

Dr. Seuss's Birthday!

For Dr. Seuss's Birthday on March 2nd we made our own dinner party foods after reading Green Eggs and Ham.  We had some INTERESTING ideas!  They all look delicious on our second grade bulletin board.

Thursday, March 3 End of Day

      We did the cloud thing. (experiment)  We warmed up water and put a cup of ice in the jar.  It formed a cloud and it rained inside the jar.  The water vapor condensed inside the jar and on the cup like it would in a cloud.  When the drops got heavy, they fell like precipitation.



     We did a spelling bee.  We need to do one more spelling bee to pick our best spellers.

    We made pictures of a tree.  We were using our fraction skills to draw it.  For example, we drew 7 leaves on each branch: 5/7 were green,  1/7 was yellow, and 1/7 was brown.


    We did lots of things!
