American Education Week

I wanted to thank all of our American Education Week guests! We had 4 guests come to talk to 2G.

Mr. Patsch came and talked to us about being a mechanic! The students loved holding the giant wrench that he brought! Thanks Mr. Patsch!

Officer Carlson came in to talk about his job as a police officer! Thank you for the stickers! It was fun hearing about how you work hard to keep us safe!

Mrs. Ainsworth read us a story about a man who tight-rope walked between the Twin Towers in the seventies! It was a great story! Thank you for coming in to read to us!

Mr. Smyder joined us and talked about his job as an air traffic controller! It was fun to hear about how he talks to airplanes! We also loved looking at the tickets you gave us!

Thank you to all of our volunteers! It was a wonderful American Education Week! -Ms. Gleason

Wacky Wednesday!

We got to play a new activity in P.E. The activity was tunnels that you had to crawl through on your belly. That is called an army crawl. Caleb and Alex ran around the gym 2 times to see how fast their hearts were beating. Many other students ran and had fast heart beats as well. We also did a lot of other stuff in P.E.

We had fun writing about our wonderful turkeys that we had a great time making at home! In art, we drew a crowd of people. We played a math game called Addition Spin. We also played musical name collection box. Today we had fun!

Cookie Election

We had a cookie election! We got to try all of the classes cookies. Our class was the M and M cookies. Hannah and Caleb had to read why people should vote for our cookie! Cade liked trying all the cookies and he was sad when they were done. It was fun! We held signs that said, "Vote for M and M cookies"! We filled out a cookie ballot. The other choices were chocolate chip and sugar cookies. The second grade teachers are going to count the votes. We'll let you know who wins! We hope you all have a great election day! Don't forget to vote.
