Elf!

Our classroom elf got delivered today! Mrs.Frederick brought it to our classroom, it was delivered straight from the North Pole (the box was even cold). We voted on a name and decided on Little Claus. He was already busy moving around our room today. While the students were at special he even fixed the lights on our classroom tree (they wouldn't turn on this morning) but Little Claus had the magic touch. We are also going to record each day in our elf journal what Little Claus is up to!

Power Outage and Penpals

This week our power went out!! 2nd grade made the most out of it and decided to read with our flashlights!

 

 

 

 

 

 

We got our second letters from our penpals this week! They wrote to us about what they are thankful for since Thanksgiving is just around the corner!

 

 

 

 

Multiplication

We started multiplication today and they were so excited. First we started out using buttons and later on we used play doh to show our multiplication. They had fun doing it and learning their new multiplication facts!

 

 

 

 

 

If I Were A Turkey on Thanksgiving...

Today we did our project for our November Bulletin board. Our writing prompt was, if I were a turkey on Thanskgiving.... They completed the writing and they each got to color their turkey and a picture of them went in the middle to be the turkey's face. Their imaginations are great! We had a ton of different ideas of what to do if we were a turkey on Thanksgiving. Some would run away, wear a disguise, convince the people to eat something else (like chicken or pizza) and one even wanted to take a taxi to the North Pole!! Our bulletin board turned out great!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We are also doing a countdown to Thanskgiving using 30 days of thankfulness. Each student wrote what they are thankful for, each day we flip that number over and read what that person is thankful for.
