We recently read a biography about Helen Keller. Even though Helen Keller was deaf and blind, she overcame many obstacles and learned to use sign language, read Braille, and even write letters as anyone else would. She is a great example of hard work and perseverance! Students used the Braille symbols on the page to create their name at the bottom, then they glued dried lentils to the page to mimic Braille.

Miss Bakker's 2nd grade class is doing a science experiment!

1st and 3rd graders enjoyed going to the Cambridge Movie Theater for their fun run reward!

3-yr-old preschoolers started a spontaneous game of Ring Around the Rosie in the gym...

and they all fell down!

Mrs. Miller’s class getting ready to go into their 100th day Spy Lab. They had a mission to find Zero the Hero so they could celebrate the 100th day.

Mrs. Miller’s class is celebrating Valentine’s Day by becoming surgeons. They used their math and reading skills to help their patients mend their hearts.

• We used candy hearts to sort and count. We talked about our math words we use for data like most and least, etc.
• We then did an experiment to see whether the candy hearts would sink or float with water, soda, and vinegar. The students were surprised to see the hearts float with the soda!

We had a very fun and very busy week! Here are some pictures from the 2nd graders seeing dogman, practicing brushing "toothless the monster's" teeth during our dental health guest presentation, and some fun Valentine's day math!

~Mrs. Kluge's 2nd Grade Class

Mrs. Gams' class showing off their fun week with Ice Skating on Valentine's Day and a Fun Run Movie Reward to the Cambridge Theater earlier this week.

Miss Bakker's 2nd grade class had fun at their movie reward from the fun run!

Steph from Embrace Orthodontics visited all the second graders to teach about the importance of dental health - flossing once a day, brushing twice a day, and making sure we at least rinse our mouths with water after sugary treats. Students had a chance to brush the dragon's teeth - it "spit" at some of them as they did it, which they thought was very funny! Each student was given a bag with tools to help keep their teeth clean.
