Mystery Reader

Our first Mystery Reader visited our class this week! It was...Mr. Compton! The class enjoyed listening to him read a story called, The Little Red Pen.  Mr. Compton accompanied the characters in the book with different voices and kept the students very engaged and laughing throughout the entire story.  Thank you, Mr. Compton, for such a special visit to 2A.

Ohio Historical Society

The second grade took a field trip to the Ohio Historical Society. Students began in the historical village where they got to travel through various buildings to learn about different holidays people celebrate throughout the winter season. After lunch, second grade explored the museum...from Native Americans to animals...students really enjoyed discovering their knowledge at the Ohio Historical Society. Thank you to all the parents who chaperoned and made this day possible. Enjoy the photos.

Thunder Cake

Having read the story, Thunder Cake, by Patricia Polacco, students got to create their own 'thunder cake' as a class! The recipe was sent home with students so you can try it at home. Enjoy the photos.

Native American Day

To wrap up our studies of Native Americans, the second grade participated in Native American day! The highlight of the day was our feast...thank you to all the parents who brought in such delicious dishes.

Packard Takes Flight

We were lucky enough to have author Susan Levine visit our entire 2nd grade in the library to discuss her book, Packard Takes Flight. She presented to us the steps she took to create her book, from research to the publishing process. She also was accompanied by the illustrator of the book, Erin McCauley Burchwell, who showed us the hard work that goes into creating visual representations of the text. Students enjoyed various activities, including getting to meet an actual peregrine falcon!!

2nd Grade Concert

Our second grade students got to perform at assembly last week. They put on a fabulous concert for the Lower School. Congratulations 2nd grade on all your hard work and a job well done!
