Donations

     This year, instead of doing a gift exchange, our class voted to bring in items and books to donate to other children in need.  Our whole table was filled!  We have a very generous class.  Great job!

Block the Door

Today we had our "Block the Door"  food collection campaign.  It was a huge success!  Our class did an awesome job.  I have to admit I was a little worried last week.  The whole school really kicked it in this week.  We beat our donations from last year!  

Here are some pictures.

Things are going great.  Then...

Crash!

Thank goodness for Mrs. Smittle!  She helped us get our donations to stay up.

Wow!  Success!  We are so proud.

End of the Day Fun

Our trip to listen to the WV Symphony lasted longer than we thought it would, so we didn't get as much recess as usual.  We took a little time at the end of the day to enjoy the nice weather and get the wiggles out.

Halloween Math Morning

     We had our annual second grade Halloween Math Morning.  We wore our costumes all day and played games all morning.  We had some moms and Mrs. Smittle come in and help us.  It was a great way to spend our morning!

Miss Thomas's Going Away Party

   It is time for Miss Thomas to move upstairs to 4th grade with Mrs. Ice for her last position in student teaching.  We are certainly going to miss her.  

Miss Thomas is reading her "Teacher Tips" that we wrote for her.  Now it is time to see what kinds of teacher goodies we all contributed to her teacher bag.

Butterfly Release

     I was having trouble loading the video of our butterfly release.  So I'm just going to give the link.

Apple Art

Mr. Jones came to our room and did an art project on shading.  He showed us how to blend colors to create apples for our bulletin board.  They turned out awesome!

Butterfly Cycle and Migration

     Mrs. Roberts shared some of her Monarch Butterfly larvae (caterpillar) with us.  We watched it eat milkweed leaves and then create its chrysalis.  On Thursday, it became an adult butterfly!  We released it on Friday to make its long journey south.
