Pilgrim Rotation Day!

WOW!  What a busy afternoon we had on Friday!  The kids  had the opportunity to rotate through all five 2nd Grade classrooms and participate in various Pilgrim activities ranging from playing games and cooking, to completing chores and making clothes!  A very special THANK YOU to all the parents that helped donate materials or/and came and helped in the classroom!

Happy Veteran's Day

What a wonderful assembly we had today, honoring many Veteran's in our families and lives.   A very heartfelt  THANK YOU to any families in 2L that have served in the military or are serving currently.  After the assembly Mya's Dad was able to come in our room and explain to the class what he has done, and what he currently does in the Army.  THANK YOU Mr. Collins!!!

New Subtraction Game

This week I taught the kids a new game.  It is called Subtraction Tracks and is very easy to play!  All you need is a set of dice, and some paper and a pencil.  Ask your child to show you how to play!!!  What a great subtraction review!

Friday's Lunch Bunch

I enjoyed getting to each lunch today with these fine gentlemen!

Happy Halloween!

A huge thank you to Kareem and Michael for a WONDERFUL party, and to ALL the parents and family members that were able to attend, or helped out by sending in supplies!!!

Pumpkin Fair

On Friday during math, the kids got the opportunity to move through different pumpkin "stations" that focused on different science and math skills.  Some of the activities included sink/float with fruits and veggies, estimating how much their pumpkin weighed, then weighing it on a scale, finding the circumference of a HUGE pumpkin, and many more.  What a fun morning!  THANK YOU to Amelia Morrison for coming in and helping the kids put holes in their pumpkins at the pumpkin face station.
