The End

Here we are at the place where my second grade wildlings become third graders.  As folks came by, all the weeks ago, to pick up a work packets, I hoped that it would just be those three weeks and we'd be back in the classroom.

It wasn't to be.
More packets needed to be made and we all tackled this brand new situation the best way we could.  I learned to do a lot of things technologically speaking, that I had not done before.  I learned that my teaching skill lies in reading faces and coming up with a new plan. Not being able to see faces really took the joy out of learning for me. However, I saw lots of other learning taking place in families and that made me smile big.
Certainly, it will be a year we will never forget.
I loved watching all the learning and growing that went on during this 2019/20 year.  I hope our summer is healthy and joyful.  God Bless us everyone.

It is May!

A Hive of Busy Bees

Still baking

And Soap Making,

And manipulating, 

And making Mr.Paris say, "Aww, so sweet."

And card creating, 

And rain making, 

And taking a closer look, 

And seeing what is up in the cup, 

And cloud creating, 

And piggy corralling, what?

 And science smiling, 

And Haiku writing, 

And wondering where the wind blows. 

And another look at our current experiment, 

Mrs. Paris loves seeing her busy bees in all kinds of learning situations.

Haiku

April is poetry month and perhaps because of my great love of God's stunning creation, I  really like one style of poetry- haiku.

I love your poetry!

   Flowers by E. C-B.

     Flowers in the spring

Flowers in the morning fog

     Flowers are colorful

We play in the creek.

We find butterflies and worms.

We help to save them.

This experience is surely worthy of a haiku, don't you think?

What's Happening

Let me say, I'm not having the best time with this anomometer. The wind gauge was easier. Fool around with whatever you have to make one. Look up the sites I've sent to see what weathermen or weatherwomen use.
Love seeing your work.

He who plants the seed beneath the sod and waits to see believes in God.

Way to upcycle an outgrown dress!

 Wise almost third graders read, read, read, read!

It was fun to hang out yesterday. Don't worry if you missed it. You can join another time.  

You know I love every one of you, but I must say Mr. K.H. won student of the day when this was delivered to my door yesterday!  So delicious.

So, I'm off to cook a meal for an elderly friend of mine and then more videos, yee haw!!!!

Hard at Work, Lots of Play

I love seeing such amazing work and reading from my second graders.
