A big week of events for second grade and our St. Paul's community.
The Book Fair has been going on this week. SPEDS had an all-school read Monday afternoon, buddy read Wednesday, Family Book Fair night Wednesday, and the students will be going through the book fair as a class tomorrow. We love an opportunity to do more reading! Get hooked on a great book!
Wednesday we had two special visitors! Author Katie Speck of Maybelle bug books (perfect for our insect unit) such as Maybelle Goes to Tea, and Maybelle and the Haunted Cupcake. We also got to meet Maybelle herself!
Food drive kicked off this week on Wednesday, thanks to all the parents and kids who have donated. Mrs. Gouttierre's class is currently in second place from ECC-2nd grade! Keep it up for the food pantry!
I VOTED!:
For the last few weeks the second graders have been learning all about the election, the process, and the candidates and Tuesday we all got to vote! We casted our vote on secret ballots and learned about our class outcome on Wednesday. The results were 22 Obama and 21 Romney! Talk about a close race!
In math we are continuing subtraction and working on our facts. We learned about to play Math War Subtraction with a partner and worked on flash cards.
In language arts we worked on making Text-to-Text connections. While we read we can make connections to another book that we have read. Such as reading a book about how butterflies use camouflage to protect themselves, we can make a connection to a book we read about the stick bug also using camouflage.
But...our biggest accomplishment this week has been our pencil collection for Atem's project. In all, St. Paul's school, collected..........
12,652 pencils!
