Happy Summer!

This year was a good year.  We worked hard, had fun, and learned a lot.  Now we're ready to enjoy our summer break ready to be third graders!!

Play Day!

Friday was Play Day.  It was hot, but we had lots of fun.

Parachutes

2nd Grade PTA meeting

Second grade got to share "A Day in Second Grade" with parents and guests at our PTA meeting on Tuesday.  To begin, we did a routine with scarves to the music, "The Syncopated Clock."

 

Then we broke into groups.  We went to the Music room to show our parents what we do in Music.  We used a parachute with the music, "William Tell Overture."



We also showed our parents a Science activity with the Promethean board in Mrs. McLaughlin's room.  Some of our parents got to participate also.

When we went to Mrs. White's room, we demonstrated one of our exercise activities called "Jammin' Minute."

Western Day Fun

We had a lot of fun learning dances and performing them for Western Day.  We also did some interesting activities and some of us had lunch outside.

Here are some of our thoughts about Western Day.

• Jennifer: I liked dancing with my class and eating pizza in the class.  I liked dancing with my teacher too.
• Jose (Mrs. M's Class): I was having fun on Western Day because we went to recess.
• Desmond: I like Western Day because we went out for recess for a long time and we ate pizza and watched movies.  We had free time.  I like when we danced.  I like when all the parents came.
• Esau: I liked eating pizza.
• Nykaila: I like when we watched movies and we didn’t have to sit at our own tables.  We had a little party.  I liked the dances Mrs. Middleton taught us.
• Hannah: On Western Day I liked that my dad recorded us dancing both of our dances.  
• Da’Qualyn: My favorite part of Western Day was when we got to dance.
• Cody: I liked the part when we got to eat pizza.
• Dathan: I like when we got to eat pizza, go outside, have fun, and dance.

Math!

We have been very busy learning Math!!  Some things we studied are shapes and area.

Roller Coasters

We have been very busy learning in second grade.  In Science we learned about spinners, tops, and roller coasters.  It was lots of fun!

We were rolling the marble down the runway.

We were fixing the runway so that it could work.

The marble rolled because it had a  lot of momentum.

We were making ramps and testing them.

We made a roller coaster go around the classroom.

We made the roller coaster go up and down.

The marble is going to the end!

We were excited because we got the marble to go to the other end.

He was ready to catch the marble.

Where's the marble?!

Esteban was ready to catch the marble.
