Beach Party

Here are the kids surfing!

Today was our class beach party!  It was so fun to sit back and watch the kids enjoy their last full day of school while playing on the beach.  We did so many things including: the limbo, musical towels, surfing, beach bingo, autographed beach balls, listened to the Beach Boys all day, etc.  The kids loved sitting on their towels, wearing sunglasses, and flip flops too.  What an awesome way to start our summer!  

Eileen's Cookies

What an awesome way for our students to end the year in Social Studies!  We traveled to Eileen's Cookies in order to see how goods are made.  They were able to watch an assembly line in action as the cookies traveled to different people for each stage.  This was an awesome experience for the kids and the cookies tasted delicious!  Your child will bring home a few pictures along with fun facts!

End of the School Year!

It is so hard to believe that the end of the school year is here!  Wow, how time flies.  I am so proud of each and every student.  This upcoming week will be full of fun and reflection on an awesome year!  Please make sure your child brings his/her backpack as they will be bringing their belongings home.  Thanks to all your support throughout this year!  

Invention Convention!

Have you even wanted a Mopping Robot?  This robot cleans your house and it can fly This robot will even take pictures of anyone who comes to your house to make sure you want them to come in or not.  

Team 2 constructed a Robocat that helps you do work around the house.  It also cleans any room in 1 second.  

Team 1 created a winer dog that can do anything in 5 seconds. 

Team 4 created a satellite!

During this week, we read a story about the many lives of Benjamin Franklin.  In this story it covered all the things that Ben Franklin discovered and invented so as an extended project we decided to have our own invention convention.  Students worked in teams to come up with an invention, create it, and decide what it will do.  Once they were finished the students took a gallery walk through the other classes to see what they created.  The second graders used wonderful teamwork skills and have great imaginations.
