| Picture slideshow I was very disappointed to miss our class Publishing Party this week, but was so happy to hear what a wonderful job all our second grade authors did sharing their stories. They should feel very proud of their hard work and accomplishments! A huge thank you to Miss Claire for working her usual magic by stepping in to make sure this special event still took place! Enjoy the slide show of your amazing children reading their very own masterpieces and have a wonderful vacation! |

Valentine's Day and a Publishing Party!
Olivia shared her Discovery Table about origami this week. She did a fantastic job teaching us about the history of origami and sharing some examples of origami she made. Everyone had a terrific time creating origami this week at this hands on Discovery Table. Great job, Olivia!
We had a terrific Valentine's Day party on Tuesday. We had snacks and juice and spent some time looking through our Valentines. When we were finished we had a little time to play a short game.
We also celebrated Mohamed and Sophia's birthdays this week. Mohamed brought in cupcakes and Sophia and her mother showed us some fun pictures and shared Rice Krispie treats.
We were sad to say good-bye to our friend Mohamed on Thursday. He will be greatly missed, but we are happy and excited for his family to be moving into a home in Burlington. Mohamed will be attending the Champlain School.
We look forward to our FEED volunteers coming in this Tuesday to help us cut vegetables for the Stone Soup taste test on Wednesday. A big thank you to them in advance for helping to set up this great experience for our class.
We have been working hard on our Narrative Unit during Literacy. Everyone is very busy writing and illustrating their stories during Writers Workshop. We will be finishing them up next week and enjoying a publishing party on Thursday morning. Please join us at 9:30 on Thursday, February 23rd to celebrate your child's writing accomplishments!
Please be sure to visit the team webpage and sign up for March conferences. They will be taking place the week of March 12 after school on Monday through Thursday.
Have a great weekend!

100th Day of School and Hands On Nature
Whew! What a crazy week this has been! On Monday Ben from Mrs. Nakleh's class presented his Discovery Table about magnets. Tuesday was Vermont Writes Day and our school did a seven minute school wide write about what we saw on the way to school. Wednesday we celebrated Gracie's birthday and spent the day doing 100th day activities for the 100th day of school! We had a visit from "Zero the Hero" who, shall we say, looked a little different this year. Hmmmm......
Wednesday was also Hands On Nature day. This month's lesson was about galls. We learned what a gall is and learned about different types of galls. The larvae of flies, gnats and wasps live in galls until they develop into an adult. When they are ready to emerge from the gull, they dig a pathway to get out. They spend 50 weeks in the gall and only 2 weeks outside the gall before they die! Ask your child what they learned about galls?
Just a few reminders about our schedule next week. Monday will be Book Fair preview day, Wednesday will be our purchase day. Valentine bags are made so your child may bring in their Valentines on either Monday or Tuesday.
