In February, the second graders worked on writing letters. Most students choose to write a letter to a Disney Character. Students wrote to a wide variety of characters, including MIckey, Lightning McQueen, Olaf, Anna, Elsa, and so many more. Yesterday, we received a letter back from Mickey Mouse, along with a post card for each student! Check out what Mickey wrote to us below!
We have been enjoying our tables over the last two weeks. Our room is easier to keep clean. We are able to work together all the time throughout the day. The tables are a success!

The room is ready for lots of le The second graders spent the afternoon getting ready for our tables! Thanks to DonorsChoose.org we are going to be able to work together to learn. Generous donors contributed to our project. We emptied all of the desks and organized our materials. The tables will get put together this Saturday. Check back to see the transformation as it happens! We have been busy researching the lives of students in other countries. Our class split into 7 groups, each group choose a country on a different continent. Everyone has completed their research! They are now busy putting their Educreations project together. We will finish next week and post the final projects! Take a look at our hard working second graders below! It has taken me some time to figure out how to embed a google presentation into our website. With the the help of Mrs. Wick, we got them up. Please check out our amazing presentations. The second graders worked very hard on these projects. Go under the Social Studies tab and click on Famous Americans. Enjoy!

Our current socials studies unit is about famous Americans. We spent our time learning about George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Harriet Tubman, Susan B. Anthony, Rosa Parks, and Martin Luther King Jr. Each student then chose a famous American to research. We have spent all week in the lab working on our Google Presentations. Tomorrow we are putting the final touches on our presentations. I hope to upload them to the website (provided I am able to) next week. Check back to see our AMAZING work!
