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. 

ERW

Our school's most profitable fundraiser is the Eagle Run Walk. Thanks to all who pulled together to make it such a fun time for the students! Way to go, kids, for helping out our school! 

Owl Pellet Dissection

After a week of learning all about owls, we got to dissect owl pellets. We learned that owls do not have teeth and have to swallow their prey whole. As a result, they are left with items in their tummy which cannot be digested. Hence the owl pellet! 

After sifting through the matted fur ball, we discovered bones! We found the skulls of mice, rats, birds, and even a shrew. No bones about it, this was a memorable day! 

Spelling Bee

We had a spelling bee today with all of our words from the first nine weeks. After 13 rounds and having to dip into extra words that weren't on our list, we had three to make it to the final round! 

Congratulations, super spellers! Don't let all these words you know how to spell "smother" you! 

Sunshine Has Been Spotted

After any dreary days of mist and rain, we finally spotted the sunshine today. So, what did we do? We had a picnic outside! 

Nocturnal News

Bring your flashlight. We are learning in the dark like nocturnal creatures. Owls, bats, and more...

STEM- Jack and the Beanstalk Style

The giant put barbed wire around the beanstalk. We helped Jack find an alternate route down via a parachute. 

Through teamwork and a little engineering, parachutes were constructed, trial runs were made, and parachutes were reconstructed. 

The official launch was today. We didnt let the damp weather dampen our parachute plan. After dropping and timing each team's parachute, we had two that made it into the finals who took over 2 seconds to land.

The winners of the parachute project were our only team of two. Their parachute took 2.67 seconds to land safely.
