Ohio Historical Society Van
We were very excited to have the Ohio Historical Society van visit the second grade classrooms. We are currently learning about the Native American culture, and we had an opportunity to go to eight hands-on stations. It included interactive stations such as games, artifacts, homes, food and fur!
Thank you to all our parent volunteers!

Land and Water Features
In Social Studies, we are studying "Map Skills." We have recently been working on a cumulating project about land and water features. Our Fireworks created a 3D map using Play-Dough to create themed land formations.
We are excited to share our finished product with you!
Stars of the Week: Molly & Nick
Molly was our first Star of the Week!
Nick was our Star of the Week last week!
The Fireworks loved learning about you, Molly and Nick!
Happy Birthday, Tanner!
For Tanner's birthday, his father was a special visitor and read the Fireworks a book! We celebrated by eating cookies in the shape of footballs. Football is Tanner's favorite sport!
We hope you had a great birthday, Tanner!

Your 2A Fireworks may have mentioned that it is Hispanic Heritage Month! Your child will have the opportunity to participate in Zumba classes at recess during the week to celebrate and then celebrated a lunch with family shares about their heritage and a festive lunch. They will also be participating in the "Morning Greeting" during assembly tomorrow! Be sure to ask your child how he or she greeted the school! All Fireworks had a big part in this activity.
