End of November

Wow! It's hard to believe that we are already to the end of November and the end of Trimester 1 in second grade! After the long weekend for the Thanksgiving holidays, we got things rolling very quickly this week. Students got to create an art project with various kinds of pasta; the artwork was all very creative and different. Some students created patterns, others made pictures, and others had fun creating designs. In reading, students are learning more about our country. Ask them about famous Route 66, a road that spans over 2,000 miles through 8 different states in the United States. And in science, we talked about wind, clouds, weather, and will create a cloud project early next week. We also learned about thermometers, temperature, and took a measure of the temperature in our classroom and compared it to the temperature outside. We found that there was a difference of 36 degrees Fahrenheit. Brrr! Enjoy another long weekend!
