What the Pilgrims Ate

Ever wonder if the Pilgrims ate the same things that we do now at the first Thanksgiving? Our second graders were asked that very same question! Students were given a large shopping bag full of different kinds of fruits, vegetables, meats, as well as facts about the first Thanksgiving. Students then worked together to fill two plate, one with what they thought the Pilgrims did eat and one with what they thought the Pilgrims did not eat. Students were shocked to find out that the Pilgrims had a lot of fish and there were no forks! Thank you so much to Ms. MJ for being our First Thanksgiving expert and sharing these fun facts with us!

Super Gallon Man the Rescue!

Earlier this month, the second grade students learned liquid measurements! These can be a challenge for students since they do not use these measurements on a daily basis. That is where Super Gallon Man comes the rescue! Each student colored, cut, and pasted together their own personal super gallon man to help them learn our liquid measurements! Hurray for Gallon Man!

Spelling Has Never Tasted So Good!

   This week our spelling words are primarily "oo" words. Today students were asked to write the words their teacher says without writing any o's.  This seemed like quite a challenge until they were handed a small cup of Fruit Loops. Then students realized they could substitute the cereal pieces in place of the o's! Students had a great time  creating each of our spelling words. Here are some pictures! And of course they were able to eat the cereal after spelling!

Election Day! Duck Vs Farmer Brown

      Our second grade class has been studying elections and what it means to be an American with the right to vote. To vote is a great responsibility for each American as every American should be patriot!After reading the book Duck for President our class took place in a mock election in which each student created a voter registration card and then used that to be allowed in the voting booth. Once inside students cast their ballots for either Duck or Farmer Brown. The final tally....Duck 11 and Farmer Brown 7. Duck for the win! Students then received an I Voted badge. It was a very exciting day!

Math Centers (Take Two)

Our second grade students spent today reviewing for the math test tomorrow. Students took part in 5 centers! Here is a quick peek of four of the five centers! These are a great way to get all students working and practicing each skill!

Money clip cards
Students counted each amount on the cards and then used a clothespin to show the correct answer.

Popsicle Stick Counting
Students counted by 2s, 3s, 5s, etc using popsicle stick numbers.

Ice Cream Math
Students solved different problems on the cones by placing the correct ice cream flavors with the right numbers.

BrainPop Jr.
Students watched a video on how to solve word problems and then took the corresponding quiz.
