Veteran's Day Performance

This is just a reminder that next Tuesday, November 11, 2014, the 2nd grade students will be having a Veteran's Day performance at 1:00 in the afternoon and at 6:30 at night.  The kids and Mrs. Hunter have been working so hard to get ready for this!  At some point during the performance, we will be showing a slideshow of pictures of veterans in our families.  If you have someone in your family who has served or is currently serving in any branch of the military, please send us a photo of them so that we can scan it and add it to our slideshow.  All photos will be returned as soon as they have been scanned and uploaded.

We also want to encourage you to invite those veterans to come see our 2nd graders perform.

Thanks for all your help!

Pumpkin Globes

Our pumpkin globes turned out so cute!  Creating a globe with a pumpkin really helped them understand the difference between maps and globes, which was our goal.  This was something they had been struggling with and creating the globes themselves really helped them to grasp the concept of how globes differ from regular, flat maps.  Thank you so much for sending in the pumpkins and helping the kids grasp this difficult concept.

Our Ocean Habitat

I am sorry it took so long to get this up here, but I definitely wanted to make sure everyone has the chance to see our AMAZING ocean habitat!  These turned out to be soooooo good!!!  I am so proud of my kids and how hard they worked to turn our hallway into a scene straight out of the ocean!  (This will stay up in the hall until at least Fall Festival, maybe longer, so you should have plenty of time to come in and see what a great job these kids did with this project!)
