Week 10 Scarecrows and Habitats

This week was filled with a lot of project based learning (My Favorite Kind!!). We crafted some Scarecrows and wrote stories about the Scarecrows' day at school. Then we took on our massive Habitat project! The kiddos had to research a habitat of their choosing, write a report on the weather, plants, and animals found in their habitat, and then create a 3D habitat showcasing their research. It took us all week to break down the steps and make our creations but they turned out SPECTACULARLY! Their drawings and details were adorable! We took a little time to look at each others and give some much deserved compliments to our friends and their hard work!

Nothing like a nice fall recess day!












We had an earthquake drill this week...





Nothing like combining Math with snacking! We got to do some apple tasting while learning about fractions this week...Some of us super loved the sour green apple...and some of us had some hilarious faces after trying it :)










Shhhh!!! We were so impressed with how our fellow 2nd Graders did on their class mass that we made up a secret compliment note and snuck it into their classroom. I don't know who enjoyed it more-our class with complimenting and sneaking around or the class we complimented who spent the next two recesses trying to discover who left the note :) We love doing little acts of kindness!


Mass time!








Showing off their Math Tub Creations!




Hard at work crafting their habitats :)









Doing a little partner work in Religion: They are getting really good at memorizing the Act of Contrition to be able to say it at their First Reconciliation!

Day 1!

 What a wonderful first day! They were so excited for everything we did, listened well, and were so kind to one another!!! We talked about first day jitters and what makes us feel better when we are nervous-then we made some "Jitter Juice" to cheers getting over our First Day Jitters!! It took awhile but we finally got our desks and supplies organized, started to learn our rules and routines, and enjoyed cheese pizza and recess- we are officially ready to enjoy our Second Day of Second Grade!                           Everyone found the classroom ok and were ready for Pledge and Prayer right away! Some Playdough Fun while Ms. Massman got attendance completed... A quick round of "Stand Up If..." to get to know one another....we have a lot of readers, bike riders, and candy lovers...

 I cannot even begin to explain all of the fun and excitement that happened this Catholic Schools Week so hopefully the photos can speak for themselves :)                                                        Practicing our cursive in shaving cream! Time for Mass :) Group 2 Won the Music Award at the Praise Assembly for January!!!! So many fun assemblies this week-Prayer, Pep, a Magician, and Volleyball! Unhealthy Snack Day Happy Birthday, Joelle! I told them to highlight this when we were doing our Religion Books because in the future if they feel like they are ready to Marry someone, they should see if they can answer yes to this about the other person...if they can then they are probably ready to get married :) They said that I needed to make sure that I highlighted it and remembered it too, these little matchmakers...
