Penguin Research

We used our technology to research facts about penguins. It was a lot of fun and we were really engaged in this activity. We will continue to use our technology more and more!

Apps

I found some math apps and one spelling app that the students would be able to do in their free time. Most of them are free, but the spelling one is .99 cents. Please do not feel that you need to download/buy these. I just wanted to let all parents know and I will show the students too.

Artist of the Week

Once a week, Mrs. Gleason picks an artist out of the whole school, and  their work is displayed in the  front hallway. This past week, Caitie from our class was the artist chosen. AWESOME JOB CAITIE!!!

Open House

Open House was a HUGE success! Almost everyone was able to come and see all the hard work the students have been doing in second grade. Here are a few snapshots from the night.
