Moretown Field Trip

We had an awesome time visiting our pen pals and participating in their E.C.O day. The rain held off and we all enjoyed our adventures in the Moretown woods. Hopefully your child has shared with you all about our day. Check out some pictures from our trip!

Look what we've been doing...


I'm not sure how it has gotten to be December 11th already, but time is just flying by! Our class has been hoping and wishing for snow to fall, so we are doing tons of winter related activities. We've been reading lots of great winter books, making snowflakes, writing about what it would be like to be trapped in a snow globe, making snowmen and much more. 






We have also been learning all about science writing and designing experiments as we learn about force and motion. Check out some of the ramps the kids built to test out how far their toy cars will go on different surfaces. 





Currently the kids have built catapults and are testing out which objects fly farther than others. 

Yesterday we spent time building and exploring with our buddies. 





Today a group of third and fourth graders shared their Reader's Theater skit with our class. 





Hope you enjoyed a glimpse of just a few things that are happening in second grade! 


Crazy 8s Math Club

Good Morning! 
I know that sometimes it can be easy to miss something in the school bulletin, as it is filled with so many wonderful things each week. I wanted to make sure that you were aware of the awesome math club called Crazy 8s that Marie Schmukal and Laurie Jones are facilitating. It runs for 8 Tuesdays starting 1/6/16. The K-2 grade group will meet from 2:40-3:30.
This program is designed to bring math to life, make it hands on and fun and enrich the math program at school. I highly recommend it! 
You can sign up at WASP or by emailing Marie- kids@warrenlibrary.com
