Snow Day!

    I hope all my friends are enjoying this wonderful snow day!  With no school tomorrow, this extra time off is just what we needed.  Hopefully, we can all get plenty of rest this weekend and come back to school without so many sniffles and sore throats!  Enjoy this extra time, and don't forget to read, read, read!

Menu Change, Feb. 19

Tomorrow's lunch menu will be switched with Wednesday's. We're having meatballs with sauce tomorrow and taco salad on Wednesday.

You read to me, I'll read to you!

We did something new with our published writing last week. To build fluency and take on an authentic role as authors, we recorded ourselves reading our work aloud. Those recordings are linked to QR codes. Stop by sometime and listen to my fabulous second grade authors present their work! You can use any free QR code reader app on your smart phone, or you can borrow an iPod from the classroom.

States of Matter

This week we did a little experiment to see if we could make matter change state. We've learned all about solids, liquids, and gases. On Wednesday we took an ordinary liquid and changed it to a delicious solid just by shaking!
