Spring

Hi All!!!!!

It's been a while since I've posted any messages. SORRY!!!! 

It is hard to believe that it is already the beginning of the 4th quarter. 

We are currently involved in learning about dinosaurs, building Lego robots, and learning to program the robots. Some of the concepts we are exploring are: life cycles, how environment played a role in the lives of dinosaurs, research skills, math graphing, grids, etc....

We still have a lot to learn and much to do! Hands-on projects take some time, but in the end it is really worth it. The enthusiasm of the students is what is driving this project. 

Celebrate Education is scheduled for Thursday, April 30th. We will probably not be finished with our project, but will have a display of our work in progress, so please do visit our classroom. We will have a special showing for family, friends, and interested parties later in the school year (probably during May). 

Enjoy your April vacation!

Looking Ahead

Welcome to 2009!

When we return this week we will be very busy. 
• Reading - We are starting Unit 3
• Math - Finishing the geometry unit
• Writing - Persuasive Posters and Book Reviews
• Science - Weather

Second grade has the display case this month and we have decided to "Go Healthy"! Give us a few days to get everything set-up, but then make sure to visit!

I am anxious four all of us to get back to business in room 19! Hopefully you had a restful vacation and are ready for some work!

Let's hope that everyone has a happy and healthy 2009!
