I would like to say this is quite a busy week, but that would an accurate description of all of our weeks. Second Grade is moving at the speed of light! Here are some "high-lights" of the beginning of this week:
*Assembly-Fourth Grade Boys basketball team won the state championship! Their coach, Mr. Friedman presented a very large trophy to Mr. V. Also at assembly, we watched video of several different types of dragon and lion dances for Chinese New Year.
*Mr. Glimcher brought in chicks from his family farm, Circle G Farms. The fuzzy little ones are already sprouting adult feathers despite being less than two weeks old!
*Core is our Star of the Week. Core would like to be a roller coaster designer when he grows up.
*We continued to write cerlihew poems (a pair of couplets about a famous person) about the people we saw at the Wax Museum.
*We wrote thank you notes to Julia Codispoti, a geologist from the Byrd Polar Research Center that came to visit us. She shared her rockin' knowledge in science class on Friday.
*We finished up chapter 11 in math and moved from addition with regrouping to subtraction with borrowing!
*We practiced using guide words in the dictionary.
*Mr. Razek came in as a Mystery Reader to share the book 365 Penguins. He also shared some tasty penguin cookies straight from the Antarctic for a very special black and white treat.
*We are putting finishing touches on our many biographies to create our biography books. We can't wait to share these with you when we come back from Spring Break!
