More Precious than Gold
We have been learning to write excellent paragraphs with topic sentences, supporting details, and closing sentences. Our most recent paragraphs are about those things which are the most valuable to each of us. Love the hyperboles (exaggerations) that are beginning to pop up in their writings. Come see more of these writings in our hallway.

Fine Arts Week
We were privileged to participate in a variety of outstanding events during Fine Arts Week. First, we enjoyed performances by opera singers and Irish musicians and dancers. The children drew with chalk around the school on Monday and we had a sculptor visit during our art class. Next was a performance by a brass quintet and that evening was the Talent Show. On Wednesday, the second grade performed Go Fish and finally we had an author share her writing skills with us on Thursday. There were also some very humorous segments on Tiger TV by Ms. McGuire and Mrs. Bower.

Coordinate Graphs
We have been learning to locate and read points on a coordinate graph. We played two games to practice these skills. The first was a team game in which each team attempted to be the first to place four magnets in a row. In the second partner game, one player hid stickers on a coordinate grid and his/her partner guessed ordered pairs until they found all the stickers. To help us remember to move horizontally first, we said that you must go down the hall before you can go up the elevator.

Skpe
Second grade skyped with an astronaut! Click here for the bio Colonel Kimbrough. It was an awesome experience! Both adults and children learned so much about the space program!
This is a short segment from the 50 minutes we spent skyping.
A big thank you to Mrs. Daugherty for organizing this event for us!
