On Tuesday afternoon we had our last session with Ms. Cheryl. We learned a lot and were sad to say "So long," to her and the cute puppets. We wrote a nice thank you note showing our appreciation for the visits.
Every chance we got we practiced our songs for Mass, our seed dispersal lesson and our square dance song, "Oh, Susannah."
On Thursday we celebrated the birthday of an Indiana pioneer, Johnny Appleseed. One group listened to a couple of good books about Johnny, while the other group rotated through four apple stations. Then we switched. We were very full of apples and cider by day's end.
There isn't much our dear teacher loves more than smiling interested faces (with mouths full of apples)!
Wow, what an absolutely amazing job second grade did during Mass on Friday. It was as well done as could be and Mrs. Paris was so proud of everyone and so thankful to the Lord for blessing us during this service!
Mrs Paris was gifted with a mum for her birthday and the class was gifted with another from the Beach family. Since we knew the day was just going to get hotter, we went out early to get them planted.
A very large crayfish (crawdad) was found and brought to school to share. That is the biggest one we've found, but alas, we needed to release him (her?) to get ready for winter. Winter is coming, right?
Our friend Fred, talked about a hundred's array and we learned a new way to write 100 using scientific notation.
We are about to come the end of our pioneer books and are looking forward to our next unit on raptors.
Our blueberries have nearly disappeared, but the plump grapes are taking their time losing matter. We discovered this week that apples, with some technology, can dehydrate in just a few hours.
Most of us are about finished with our India stitchery and worked this week on Australian Aboriginal Dot Art.
We've made maps of our neighborhood and Floyd County and will move onto Indiana this week.
Ever learning and growing.
