Mountains, lakes, and rivers! Oh my!

In culmination of our  land and water feature study, 2A worked together to create our own land masses.  Our 3D maps demonstrated our understanding of this map skills unit in a creative way.   Wouldn't you  like to visit "Fun Time," "Halloween Town," "Super Candy World," "Beach Paradise Island," and "Universe?"  Our maps each included land and water features as well as a map key.  Each group was eager to share their maps with the entire class.  Thanks again to the parents who made the dough for this activity.

Community Day

On Friday, September 26th, we had our second grade Community Day!  We started our day in the new outdoor classroom where we had our Morning Meeting.  We played a game with the hula hoops that was super fun and challenging!  Following that, we explored the campus of Columbus Academy during a scavenger hunt and then ate lunch outside.    The afternoon was filled with relay races, tag, chalk drawing, hula hoops, and water balloons.  We had so much fun with all of our second grade friends!  You can view some of the memories in our slideshow.

Have you noticed our beautiful weather lately?  The Fire-breathing Dragons took full advantage with some extra recess time.  You can look at our photographs below to see just how much fun we have on our Academy playground!

On September 16th, we celebrated Jennifer's Birthday! Jennifer's parents brought us delicious cupcakes and other special treats to honor Jennifer on her big day. Jennifer and her father then shared with us one of her favorite books about dinosaurs. It was full of interesting facts! Happy Birthday to Jennifer!

The Fire-breathing Dragons meet their Pre-K buddies!

Last week we had the opportunity to meet with our Pre-K buddies!  We introduced ourselves and shared the cards we had made for each other.  Popsicles and playground time followed.  We were so excited to share this time with our new buddies!
