Week 10 has come and gone!

We had a great week. We had so much fun on our field trip to the art museum. The harvest party was also a huge hit!


During school, we learned about quotation marks by reading comics, acting them out for the class, and recreating the comic speech bubbles into a paragraph. We have a lot of great actors and actresses in 2B! 


We also did a science experiment with gummy bears. We observed the physical properties of the gummy bears. Then we left them in water overnight. The next day, we were amazed at the physical changes that took place! The gummy bears were huge!

Looking ahead to next week:
