Week 26

What a week of crazy weather!  We had sun and "warm" temps, we had rain and cold temps, and we had wind!  Our class won a pizza party from Wacky Wednesdays!  So we will be having a pizza party on Friday, March 7.  Please do not order school lunch that day!  Thanks! 




We found creative ways to play with all the rain on Wednesday! ;)

Bible:  Since we've finished learning about Jesus' 12 disciples, we've moved into looking at how we, 2nd graders at Holland Christian, can be disciples.







ELA:  We are working so hard on our non-fiction animal books! We're using our research packets to help us write different sections of our book.




We're also enjoying our informational book clubs!  We're reading books related to our topic and are learning lots of cool facts while using non-fiction text features to guide us.  





Math:  We've moved from using rulers to using meter sticks and yard sticks! We had fun measuring each other and things around the classroom!





We used our evidence of animals from our Dunes hike to make a line plot.



Outdoor Learning:  We spent time on Tuesday at Saugatuck Dunes. We focused on looking for signs of animals during our hike and recorded this data in our nature notebooks. The beach was breathtaking on such a beautiful morning!














The hike back was exhausting!  We were just so HOT! ;)


We are continuing to work on our animal homes, putting out food, noticing signs of animals, and enjoying looking at what our trail cameras capture!  




Star Student:  Henry was our Star Student this week. We enjoyed looking at his poster and pictures! We learned that Henry enjoys riding horses and wants to be a zookeeper when he grows up. Henry, you are a special child of God and we are so thankful you are a part of our classroom family!

Our weeks are really flying by!  It's already October!  A new Bible Memory page and October Spelling Words came home in homework bags this week.  These pages should be kept at home and looked at throughout the month.  We added Groups into our daily schedule - this is a great time for ALL second graders to work on improving their own reading and writing skills.  We enjoyed the beautiful weather too!  We started our Monday off with meeting some new Y5 friends from South Side.  Each second grader was partnered up with a Y5er and they completed a nature scavenger hunt and had some play time together.  It was fantastic to see so many of our second graders stepping up to be the "big kids" and teach their new buddy important forest safety rules.   We enjoyed the fall like temps this week in our playspace!   Announcements & Reminders : *Please remember to order lunch by 7am on Monday!  Remember you must order in this time frame for th...

Wow!  I cannot believe week #1 is in the books!  What a fantastic week we had as we learned more about 2nd grade, Sassafras House, and each other!  I am thankful to be on this adventure with you and your family!  Thank you for entrusting your child to me each and everyday.  We are learning about each other and becoming comfortable in our new learning spaces and with one another!  Please remember that school fatigue is real and you may experience some big emotions with your child this weekend.  It would be helpful to set aside some extra snuggle time to help him/her work through the fatigue of adjusting back to school.  Reminders : *Please remember to order lunch by 7am on Monday!  Remember you must order in this time frame for the whole week.  If you click on the three lines in the top left corner of the blog, there is a quick link to the lunch form.   *If you have not returned batons, green communication folders (with the whit...

We've already learned a lot this school year about our Forest School play norms and about our 2nd grade expectations.  The students brainstormed things they felt they could promise to try their best at each and everyday.  We have a Class Promise, a Play Promise, and an Outdoor Learning Promise.  These are great reminders on how we treat one another, treat the space we're in, and share God's love. We created our Play Promise as a way to stay safe, learn, and have fun while playing outside.   Announcements & Reminders : *Please remember to order lunch by 7am on Monday!  Remember you must order in this time frame for the whole week.  If you click on the three lines in the top left corner of the blog, there is a quick link to the lunch form.   * Please take note : On September 25 we will not be at Sassafras House all day. We are going to chapel, Farmer's Market, and then the walk-a-thon. *Friday folders are coming home today with our work from ...
