Thank you, Mrs. Bix!

Thank you so much, Mrs. Bix, for coming in and speaking to us about how to write an appealing newspaper article! The kids loved hearing how to write a catch phrase for a headline and also learning to include facts in our articles, instead of opinions.  

Our class is writing the Fairy Tale News for the Fairy Tale Ball!  This will be handed out to the entire 2nd grade during the Fairy Tale Ball on May 3!  They are very excited that I chose to do this with them and show their creativity!

State Research Projects

The kids each picked a different state from one another! We reserved books from the library for all 50 states and used them to pull information for our state research projects!  We decided, as a class, not to get upset if someone picks a state we wanted first, but to realize that ALL the states have something really cool about them that needs to be learned!

Learning the Foundations of Division!

In Unit 7, we've begun to look at the foundations of division!  

The Dentist Came to Visit!

We learned all about what drinking sugary drinks can do to our teeth, how to brush our teeth properly and also what we need to do to keep our permanent, adult teeth healthy!  

Teeth Diagrams!

Just before Spring Break, we finished our dental health unit.  We made super cute teeth diagrams.  First we started with the enamel (white) part of the tooth.  Then we made the dentin (the yellow, first layer below the enamel).  After that, we added the pink layer which is the pulp part of the tooth that the nerves run through.  After that, we added the nerves and the gums.  Once the tooth was fully built, we added the labels!  These are hanging in the hallway so check them out the next time you're in!
