Bible:  We are continuing to learn about Jesus' and His work here on Earth. We're learning about Wisdom Seeking and talking about all the ways we can seek God's wisdom.


ELA:  We spent some great time building our reading stamina!







Math:  We're focusing on shapes and learning specific details about different shapes. We're learning to measure each side of a shape and then add up those lengths to find the distance around the shape.







Outdoor Learning:  We continued learning about mapping this week. It was a wild week with snow, wetness, and mud! We have a stream that we are mapping. Each 2nd grader has been assigned a section of the stream to focus on.





We spent some time at the beach pond today hammocking, playing, and mapping!  







Star Student: Arie was our Star Student this week! We had fun looking at Arie's poster and pictures. We learned that he is really good at sports and games and wants to be a football player when he grows up. Arie, you are a special child of God and we are thankful you're a part of our classroom family.
