So Much To Be Thankful For!

We have so much to be Thankful for! We had a busy week!

In Science we measured solids with our balance beams and we made a liquid (heavy cream) turn into butter. Yes! Heavy cream and a pinch of salt, shake, shake and shake and like magic Butter! We enjoyed our butter on toast with cinnamon sugar. Who knew learning could be so delicious! We also did a “Race for Change Lab”. In this lab we were turning a solid (ice) into a liquid. Oh my goodness, melt ice in my desk, my hair, my armpit or my shoes. It was so much fun!

Our Field trip to MOSH was Awesome! “What’s the Matter” show was aligned with what we are learning in class.

Our family projects for Social Studies were incredible! The students learned valuable information about their families to share with the class. We ended the day with a yummy Thanksgiving feast! It was the best way to start our holiday break!

We really do have so much to be THANKFUL for. Enjoy the slideshow and your Thanksgiving break! See you on Tuesday, December 3rd.
Can you believe it will be the 70th day of school?

Second Grade Season of Giving!

Second Grade Season of Giving Project


We will be collecting canned goods and non-perishable food items to give to the Grocery Fairy and BEAM (Beaches Emergency Assistance Ministry).  As we rehearse our holiday play, we see the characters we portray go from home to home collecting canned goods for their community food drive.  What better way to give back than to replicate this service project in real life! We hope every family can send in something, whether it’s during the school day or when they attend our evening performance of “December in our Town”.  Thank you in advance for your donation!
