Closing Ceremony

We ended our March is Reading Month winter Olympics, "Read for the GOLD!" this morning at our closing ceremony! Our giraffes earned 29 gold medals and had a chance to wear them to the assembly and represent our country, Norway!

Realistic Fiction Celebration!

Yesterday, we celebrated the hard work that we put forth on our realistic fiction unit. We studied character traits, problems & solutions, strong leads, and interesting endings to create awesome stories!

Check out some pictures from our celebration!

March is Reading Month

Checking in from team Norway! Our Giraffes are representing Norway in our winter reading olympics. Each night that they read 25 minutes, they can color in a ring in their medals. They will be able to wear each medal that they recieved to our "Closing Ceremony" assembly at the end of the month!

We also had a chance to learn about Norway from Ms. Gade's dad [his family is from Norway] he had some fun stories, and cool things to show us!

February is Dental Month

Our second grade group celebrated this by educating ourselves on teeth care- Little Smiles from Grand Haven kindly came in and gave a presentation about dental care. They brought in eggs and dipped them in different things such as cola to see what it does to our teeth! Very interactive and very cool!!

Sharpening the Saw...

Last week our team finished up snowshoeing with Mr. P in P.E. What a great time to "sharpen the saw" and exercise balance to grow our brains! Check out some sweet photos of our athletic team!
