The Play's the Thing!

Our class is just full of budding Thespians.  This photo was taken just before our performance.  Many admitted to being nervous but we discussed how to turn the nerves into excitement and how to breathe deeply.  Everyone calmed a little and they did a great job!  Thank you to all the parents and grandparents who came, we hope you enjoyed it!

Our 5th grade reading buddies visited us again today.  This is the other half of the group that wasn't posted last time.  Check out the concentration on these readers!

It was a very busy, short week.  We are working on skip counting and grouping objects to skip count.  Have your child practice at home by counting groups of pennies by 2's, 5's, and 10's.  
We are still working on our "Friend" descriptive writing; it should be finished next week.
We took a break from the reading series but we did read some Laura Numeroff and we started a chapter book, Second Grade Friends.

Next week a volunteer from Junior Achievement will come in to teach us about our community and economics.  We will also have a fire safety demo by our local firepersons.
