Mystery Reader: Julia's Mother

It was an exciting day when our first Mystery Reader came on Monday!  Julia's mother read us Dr. Suess' book, Because a Little Bug Went Ka-Choo.  It was very popular with our second grade class, and you can find more about the book from the link!


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!
