S.E.L.

In S.E. L. we watch a video called Free The Horses. There’s a wizard called Zor and he’s locking away the horses. There’s YesYes, a dragon. There’s an elf and a witch and they are telling a girl to find the thing of success. She has to find three keys. Our class made a note that said, “You can do it! It may be hard and it may take time, but stick with it and you’ll be fine.

    Happy Fall Y’all!

We had a fun and busy short week here in second grade. The class loved catching candy for our fabulous principals who were working on the roof. Thank you main characters for joining us for donuts on Tuesday morning! The class is looking forward to writing for the blog again next week. 

FRIDAY is our class fall celebration. If you are interested in volunteering, please make sure you have a background check for this year on file with the office. Here is the sign-up page for volunteering and sending supplies. Thank you for helping us make class memories!

We are in need of working headphones and charged devices each day at school. Please remind your child of your charging routines and ask them if their headphones are working. Thank you!

If you would like to make a donation to our class, we could use individually wrapped snacks, disinfectant wipes, or boxes of tissue. 

 Thank you!

Thank you Families, for scheduling and attending conferences! It is a joy to get to know your families and celebrate each student’s success and plan for their goals together. Here is our conference schedule and virtual conference link.

This Week

We learned about landfills and there’s too much trash in the world. In Daily 5 some friends wrote encouraging notes. We learned about equations by balancing a scale. We like to write math questions. On Wednesday, we wore crazy hats. Our principals played beanboozled. We painted pumpkins and made pinch pots in art.
