THANK YOU!

A BIG thank you to Mrs. Devito (John's mom.) Her company (Hannah Anderson) donated $100.00 to our classroom. After discussing and voting, the kids decided they either wanted to make t-shirts or get playground toys. Since the toys would be something we use everyday, that's what we got! We lucked out having great weather this week to try out our new equipment. Thank you very much! The kids are having so much fun at recess.

Stone Zoo

We had a beautiful day at the zoo today! Great weather and active animals makes for a fun day. I only have a few picture. Email some of your pictures if you have more!

Zoo Field Trip this Friday!

Our trip to the Stone Zoo is quickly approaching.  We will be going this Friday April 26, 2013.  The buses will be leaving promptly by 9 am.  Parent chaperones will be asked to drive or carpool to and from the zoo.  Our plan is to be at the zoo from @ 9:30-12:30.  
Students should bring a bagged lunch and snack on Friday.  We will not be able to buy school lunch on this day.  We will eat snack and lunch at the zoo.  Please send lunch in a bag rather than a lunchbox, so students don't lose them at the zoo. 
We will have fun searching for amphibians, reptiles, and insects.  We will also get to see all other animal types.  They will be challenged to try to find an animal from each of the seven continents too! 
Please have your child dress comfortably, we will be going to P.E. after the field trip, so they will need sneakers. THANKS!

Charlotte's Web Field Trip

South America

We have taken a virtual trip to our first continent- South America. We have been studying the area's countries, landforms, cultures, and animals. Each student has created a poster displaying the facts they have learned along with a detailed map. The posters are amazing! Students will earn their first passport stamp this week, then we are off to Antarctica!

Great Snake!

 Ms. Pavlicek came to help us end our reptile/amphibian unit with a BANG! Here are some FW teachers with the Boa Constrictor. 

Dr. Seuss Day

On Friday March 1, 2013 many schools across the country participated in Read Across America Day.  This is a day to celebrate Dr. Seuss and his love for reading.  Here in room 212, we had many different activities going on.  Our class learned a lot about the life of Dr. Seuss.  We were lucky to have two special guest readers.  Kristen Russo from the Burlington School Committee came to our class to read.  Mr. Boucher from the Burlington Fire Department also came in to read Wacky Wednesday.
The second grade students were also given a task to find the 50 words used to write Green Eggs and Ham.  The best thing was to see everyone enjoying books throughout the day!  It was so much fun.  Here are a few photos from our day.
