Every day after lunch we take a few minutes to choose new books from the classroom library. When books are chosen, everyone sits down to read before we move on to our afternoon activities. I love those moments when the entire class gets drawn into their books. On this afternoon, they were so engaged in their books, I couldn't bring myself to interrupt them. They read for thirty minutes and whined when I finally told them we had to stop!

MES Christmas Program
You won't want to miss our Christmas program this year! We will be performing in the YHS Auditorium on Friday, December 9th. Show times are at 9:30 am and 1:30 pm. See you there!
Canned Food Drive
We're having a canned food drive at MES! Please send in a non-perishable food item to donate. We will collect all items at our holiday sing-along on the morning of December 21st. The food will be delivered to the Yuma Community Cupboard for families in need this Christmas season. Second graders are learning how to be Bucket Fillers, and this is a great way to help them learn the important idea of sharing and helping others. Thanks in advance for your support!

Daily Calendar
Each day when we've finished our math lesson, students move to the back carpet to complete calendar. This time is a great way to reinforce number sense concepts and introduce new ideas. During calendar time we work on place value, days of the week, months of the year, even/odd, patterns on a hundred chart, graphing, tally marks, and money.
