During the second nine weeks we had a student from DBU who was learning more about being a teacher! Ms. Logsdon was able to observe many lessons and was even able to teach a few lessons including the one above. The students read two different books by Eric Carle and then used a double bubble map to compare and contrast the two books.
During red ribbon week students were able to participate in many activities including the book parade shown above. Students were able to dress up as their favorite book character to show their determination and commitment to staying drug free. I am so proud of their spirit and promise of a better future, one that does not include drugs of any kind!
In social studies we spent some time learning about the different land forms found in the United States. Then students were able to represent each landform on their own map.
This nine weeks included our pride rally sharing in which we shared what our goals were for our future. Some students wanted to be in the army while others thought they might want to be a teacher. No goal was too big or too small.... we made these goals knowing that if we stay drug free we can reach them!
After the pride rally sharing students were then able to create their career choice using pipe cleaners, can you guess what this student wants to be?
We had a chance to participate in some fantastic activities with our kindergarten buddies including making popcorn! Students watched as the teachers made popcorn and read a book about the many steps in takes to make pop corn. While students snacked second graders wrote down the four most important steps and their kindergarten buddies illustrated each step.
Idioms: silly sayings that mean something different that what they literally say!
We studied different kinds of poetry including alliteration, can you tell what letter this student was repeating???
We learned about the three main kinds of energy. Students were then able to create their own super hero who can harness their energy to change the state of different kinds matter, meet heat boy!
We learned a little more about our reading buddies by reading about Clifford's family and making a venn diagram about our families. We put our pictures in the circle that we belonged in: brothers, sisters, both, or none. Finally we were able to sit with our buddies and draw a picture of our families.
These are only a few of the fun activities we have participated in... I am so proud of the progress that we have made this second nine weeks! I am excited to see what the third nine weeks brings. I hope that everyone is enjoying their break! I miss you all and cant wait to see you on tuesday, Happy new year!!
