Night Sky Field Trip

On Tuesday, student were able to enjoy an in-school field trip to learn more about the night sky.  Students entered a digitarium to view many constellations and watch how the star pictures we see in the sky change throughout the night due to Earth's rotation.  A special thanks goes to Oatland Island for allowing our students to have this experience.

                            

                            

                            

                            

                            

                           

We got the MAIN IDEA!

Light bulbs came on as students learned how to identify the main idea in reading.  Check out the class with their light bulb head bands.

September Birthdays

I would like to wish my September students a very Happy Birthday!

Fun with the Night Sky

The students really enjoyed learning about the night sky.  They were able to use their imagination to create their own constellation, carve Oreos to show the moon phases, and have class in a bubble to review the phases of the moon.

Back to School 2013

As I reflect back to a week ago tonight, I remember feeling anxious and excited about the first day of school.  Although last Monday was my seventh first day of school as a second grade teacher, I still got the first day jitters.  My students and I were able to wash those first day nerves away by drinking jitter juice.  After the jitters were gone, we were able to have a great first day and a great first week of school.  I really enjoyed meeting and getting to know all of my students.  We have an exciting year ahead.

May Birthdays!

I would like to wish my May students a very Happy Birthday!!
