I hope everyone is just as excited as I am to go on our picnic tomorrow!
** You can bring almost any sporting equipment that you want. Know though that it is at your own risk. As a second grader you are responsible for keeping track of your gear - to and from the park.
I am still going to ask that you keep any hard baseball bats and/or baseballs at home!
It should be a sunny cool day! Get ready to have some fun!

We are Back!!
The end is so quickly approaching! We in class 152 are working very hard until the end and enjoying ourselves greatly as we go!
On Friday we were greeted by one of our painted lady butterflies. We are looking forward to the rest of our chrysalises to hatch. Last week we read a couple books about butterflies- the kids loved the books particularly 'Clara Caterpillar'. We had a great time finding all the spicy 'c' words the author used to describe the different characters.
In reading last week we worked on synthesizing and began to learn how questioning helps us become stronger readers. We read 'The Stranger' by Chris Van Allsburg and the kids did a fantastic job recording their questions before and during their reading. This book prompted some interesting discussion.
In Math, we continue to work with money. The class took a special interest in discussing prices from the past compared to prices of the same items currently. The ideas brought up were thoughtful and rather advanced. We will continue to work with money, creating change and working with decimals.
Ms. Jessi will come join our class one more time this week to continue our Metropolis lessons. The performance is fast approaching on May 23rd.
