PJs, a Movie, and Popsicles

The class pooled their Malcom Money to purchase a pajama day and a movie. We combined the two and had a fun Friday. They also earned an "amazing" treat for class compliments of a Popsicle. Learning and growing together can be so much fun! 

1/2 Way

We celebrated the season and our halfway mark of second grade. Love our MBES traditions. Love these kids who are growing and maturing at a rapid rate! 

Although I won't be with them for the next two weeks, they won't be far from my thoughts. ❤️

'Tis the Season

Each day in December we have had a guest reader right after lunch. We have enjoyed some of the best stories! We even had Mrs. Stancil read one to us! 

There is so much energy and wonder in an elementary school this time of year! 

Cranberry Experiments

Did you know that cranberries can dance? We got to see how they are harvested in a flooded bog. We also tried out our engineering skills and catapulted them in our courtyard. The cranberry sauce will never be the same!

Thankful

Our School hosts a feast each Thanksgiving. The amount of family involvement was amazing! It was so nice to share a meal with our loved ones.

Moon Pie

Several students kept up with the phases of the moon each night for an entire month. What was their reward? A Moon Pie, of course!

Sincerely, Native American Child

Imagine you are a Creek or Cherokee child.  Write a diary or journal entry describing your life.  What kinds of activities do you do?  What kinds of chores do you have?  What are your favorite kinds of games?  If you are on the Trail of Tears, what is it like?

Take us back in time.

Candy Corn Catastrophe

Our candy corn STEM towers did not work as well as we imagined them. The corn was crumbly and we couldn't seem to get much height out of our towers.

When reflecting on our project one student put it all in perspective when she said, "We made a mess!" 

Storybook Character Parade

We had several familiar characters show up for our annual storybook parade.

Spooky Science with Dry Ice

This week we have been writing with science. We also go to think about how dry ice works. Did you know that it can make huge bubbles, blow up balloons, and scream? 

Creative Inspiration

We were inspired this week by author Scott Savage to make a difference in the world. If we can think it, we can do it! 

We loved hearing about his books too! 

Thank you, Mr. Savage! 

Moon Oreos

What a "sweet" way to study the phases of the moon! 

United Way, Dilly Bars, and Cow Kisses

We did it! Second grade raised the most money for United Way and got to enjoy Dilly Bara and a front row seat to see Mrs. Stancil kiss a cow. Lou Lou was a good sport but after kiss number three, she had had enough. 

Thanks for being such a good sport, Mrs. Stancil! 💋

Special Guest

We had a special guest in our classroom one morning this week. We were star struck! 

He made a deal that we couldn't refuse- we could sign his new cast for a small fee of 3 Malcom dollars. They were lined up for a chance to enourage our school's hero.
