Landforms

          We studied landforms a few weeks ago in social studies, and we'll be revisiting them this week as we learn more about animal habitats.  We made flipbooks with a definition and picture of each landform.  Then we used play dough to create them.  I love how creative this group is!

Art Show Tomorrow

Second grade will be going to the Yuma Art Show tomorrow afternoon during specials time.  We won't be at school from 1:30-2:45.

September's Writer of the Month

           Each month MES teachers will be choosing a student writer to showcase.  A piece of this student's writing will be on display in the main hallway.  This month's writer is pictured below.  She did a great job describing our tent.  She used complete sentences, topic-specific words, and a detail as a subject.  Great work!

Tribe Pride Students of the Month

           We had our first Tribe Pride Assembly on Monday afternoon.  Congratulations to my Tribe Pride Students of the Month for September!  Remember, to earn this award students must have perfect attendance for the month (this includes arriving to school on time), show Tribe Pride in all areas of the school, and have no office referrals. 

Way to go, guys!  I'm proud of you!
