1/18-1/22

With Martin Luther King Day on Monday, followed by a snow day on Wednesday, our school week flew by! We began reading a novel as a whole class entitled, Stone Fox. This is one of my favorite stories that we get to read in 2nd grade, and I hope they have been enjoying it too! On Friday in science, we got to experiment with creating and taking apart mixtures. They learned that solutions are nearly impossible to take apart.
