March Events


On March 28th, students had a blast hunting for eggs at our "Review" Easter Egg Hunt.  Once students filled their bags with eggs, they returned to the classroom to solve problems and answer questions related to content that has been taught this school year.  Students were able to trade in their correct answers for goodies.  Thank you parents for all the items donated to make this event a success.














Students went on a field trip to the Bamboo Farm and Coastal Center to explore plant life cycles.

















                                     



We are excited about supporting our troops!  We sent Jaleel's dad letters, birthday cards, and several other goodies to show our appreciation for everything he does to protect and serve our country.


As students learned about the life cycles of different living organisms, they got to observe larvae change into pupas and transform into beautiful butterflies.  We fed the butterflies and housed them in the classroom for about two weeks.  We set them free in mid-March.

March Birthday

I would like to wish my March student a very Happy Birthday!


January and February Highlights


The year 2013 has started off great!  In January, students wrote letters, made Valentine's cards, and prepared packages for troops serving in Afghanistan.



In February, students celebrated the 100th day of school by dressing up like they were 100 years old.


 

All second grade students participated in the Georgia Day Parade to honor the founding of Georgia.  Unfortunately, the field trip in downtown Savannah had to be cancelled due to the rain, but the students still enjoyed marching through the school in their colonial and indian attire.








               






My class honored Black History Month by participating in the National African American Read-In Day.    Local high school students stopped by to read to students.
