Grade 2 Week 7

We continue to read and read and read some more! When you are up before I am ( which is more often than not ), you grab some books and quietly read away until I finally DO come out of the room. :)

This week, the new display at the library was of fossils, and we stopped to take a look and read some of the interesting facts about them.

They were also having a "make and take" event in conjunction with the Halloween season, and you are never one to say no to a chance at some Arts and Crafts!

Nor do you ever let a "head in a carboard thingy" opportunity go by without a picture.

We played lots of Uno Tippo this week, and you quickly caught on and started winning all over the place.

McMurry had their homecoming and we managed to catch their teepees while they were still up, even though the people manning them had gone off for lunch or something.  It was still fun crawling into each of them and snooping around learning how the Indians might have lived.

Improvisation

We don't have a Han Solo figurine, much less one in Carbonite.  But you saw the potential for a parody with your Minecraft toys.

Grade 2 Week 6

The weather is finally getting just a hair cooler, and we've been trying to be outside more.

School has been going along well, and we are learning and growing..

we've been playing Scrabble Junior.. we tried to play "regular" Scrabble, but thought we'd stick with the Junior version for now.

We re-watched some old episodes of Salsa on PBS to brush up on our vocabulary..

And you ALWAYS love Science Lab time..

We learned about seeds...

and had fun eating some of the specimens...

We learnt about our community..

and our country..

even if you have unconventional ways of concentrating on school work.

We started using Lamb's Book for art.

and you remain strong at Math.
