12/18-12/22

Have a wonderful Christmas break! May you find peace and rest in the joy of the newborn Christ the King!

School will resume on Thursday, January 4th for a short two day school week.

When we return on Thursday, we will be reviewing types of sentences, subjects, and predicates. We will be working on a 5 paragraph writing project about our Christmas breaks. We will also be reviewing our math concepts.





We had a busy, but very exciting week in 2nd grade!
Mrs. Helmkamp came in to our classroom to teach us another lesson about coding.

Enjoying their Christmas books during our AR 2nd Quarter Celebration

AR Celebration

Designing Christmas trees out of tangram shape tiles

In Social Studies, we learned about factories. Our classroom became a paper chain factory. Our classroom was able to produce a much bigger chain working together than working by ourselves!




POLAR EXPRESS DAY!

To start off our journey to the North Pole, we surveyed our friends

And asked all sorts of questions,

Like, do you like marshmallows in your hot chocolate?

After that, we got into discussion groups and discussed all sorts of questions

Such as, What does mysterious mean to you?

And What do you know about the North and South Poles?



Then, we wrote stories about Santa




We then enjoyed a snack of donut holes and hot chocolate!




We played Christmas games during center time, like tic-tac-toe

A dice game with a Christmas tree,

And making Christmas cards

To finish off our journey, we watched the movie and relaxed. We had a great day!
