In the last days of school we start our balloon countdown! Each day we pop a balloon and do the activity in the balloon. Our first balloon was to write a letter to a senior and deliver the letter. This has always been our traditional first balloon, and it's amazing to think that the seniors now receiving letters were once the 2nd graders writing and delivering letters. Congratulations and good luck to you seniors!
1) I like farming.
2) I am in a family of 6.
3) My favorite food is pizza.
This big brother must be known for his love of farming because he was a top guess right away! He read "Secret Pizza Party," by Adam Rubin. This was a perfect choice for him since he also loves pizza! Thanks for stopping in to read to us and answering our questions about 4th grade!
1) I play a brass instrument.
2) I am near sighted.
3) I like colorful skies.
This big sister was a nice surprise for her brother. She read the very sweet book, "The Giving Tree," by Shel Silverstein. We loved hearing your story and learning more about 5th grade! Thank you so much for being a mystery reader!
The class loved seeing all of the animals and farm equipment at Ag Day today! Great job high school students in your presentations! The 2nd graders had a blast!
Last Friday we performed our play, "The Weatherman on Trial." The class did a fantastic job! I'm so proud of all of their hard work in memorizing their lines. Way to go 2nd graders!
1. I like to draw people.
2. I want to be a dentist.
3. I like the trumpet, but I don't play it.
The dentist clue threw off the class except for one student. She knew that her older sister wants to be a dentist when she grows up. It's also fun to have this former student back as a mystery reader. She read a spin on a traditional fairytale called "The Three Little Wolves and the Big Bad Pig." Thanks for stopping in to share a story with our class!
1. I love horses.
2. My favorite color is purple.
3. I like ice cream.
Although a few students thought this might be their mom, we have one student who shares her love of horses with us regularly. She knew it was her mom coming to visit us! The book her mom chose was perfect for this horse loving family, "Bubba the Cowboy Prince: A Fractured Texas Tale" by Helen Ketteman. This book was a fun mix of fairytale and tall tale, both of which we recently read in class. Thanks for stopping in to 2nd grade!
