In the Garden

Another very warm and very busy week in Second Grade.

Our little pigs are finished and everyone had to make an appointment with the vet to get a flu shot.
We are going to create an adventure book about our very own pet.

Some of our parents met on Wednesday evening to see how to help us out with math.  We've got a ways to go in learning addition and subtractions facts. Those of us who participated received math games and dice.

 Our school camera was most cantankerous last week, so we don't have many pictures of our Pioneer Adventure.  Here our little pioneers are learning how important quilts were to the pioneers and tried our hand at quilting.  We learned that in addition to keeping them warm it often was a community project and a way to show artistic creativity and to use up every scrap.

 Our Preschool was gifted with monarch caterpillars and it was time to turn them loose. They were so very kind to let us see the big release, as they wanted to set them free in our little school garden. Mrs. Paris was hoping to have future monarchs, so dug up some milkweed, about ready to pop out all over with seeds, to plant close to the garden, in hopes of future monarch food.

Yep, about like chiseling concrete.

This garden has really turned into an act of service as we carry water and carry water and carry water, but look at how pretty it is.

All week we've worked on our Mass parts for this Friday.  What a big job for second graders!

Ms. Cheryl came again to share with us about coping skills.  Overall, Mrs. Paris thinks we cope pretty well.

Another week of learning and fun.
