Short Week

It's been a short week, but a busy one!  

Enjoy the photos below and have a wonderful long weekend!

Second graders learned about the Mayflower Compact.  

All Pilgrims needed to work together in order to succeed.  

The Pilgrim men agreed on these laws that they would all follow.

Students focused on features of 3D shapes (number and shapes of faces) 

and even practiced drawing them!

Continued with reading groups!

Students used a storytelling voice to show the intent of their writing while reading to a partner!

And a group photo from Shelburne Farms last week!

Mayflower Activity

On Friday all second graders got together to see just how crowded the Mayflower was when it made it's voyage to the New World in 1620.  We taped off 1/3 of the Mayflower's space (because we only have 1/3 of the people between the two second grade classes) in Mrs. Babineau's room.  Students brought their backpacks as the one trunk each family was allowed to bring.  In this space, students laid down to see what it was like to sleep, pretended to fix meals and play games.  It was lots of fun, but very crowded!

We had so much fun celebrating "Fancy Toy Day" and our "Double Recess Day"

 

Robinson/Cross second graders

Rereading Like Detectives!

Students partnered up today to reread their own writing to make sure it says exactly what they want it to say, look for uppercase letters at the beginning of every sentence and end punctuation.

 
 

What a fun class celebration!

These second graders had a blast celebrating their expected hallway behavior on Friday!  They were comfortable on a hot day!  We had lots of fuzzy friends visiting and we had lots of fun making costumes for them!
