Last Day of 2nd Grade!

We had a lot of fun on our last day watching our 2nd grade video, erupting our volcanoes, and cleaning our desks with shaving cream!  Thanks for a fantastic year 2nd graders!  Have a wonderful summer!

Final Balloon #7: Treasure Hunt

The balloon we popped today took us on a treasure hunt all around the school.  We were lucky to have Mason stop in just in time to lead us through the treasure hunt.  The clues lead us to the library for our treasure- a new book!  When we read all the Willy books by Anthony Browne, the only one we couldn't get our hands on was "Willy and the Cloud."  This was a fun surprise to add to our classroom library!

The rest of our treasure had to stay in the freezer until we could enjoy it outside at recess time!

One Final Serenade!

Thanks Mason for sharing your guitar skills with us again!  We love listening to you, and we are always blown away by hearing our classmate play as well!  These 2 kids are pretty talented!

Balloon #6: Gum Day!

The balloon we popped today was gum day!  Each student got 4 pieces of gum to eat whenever they wanted throughout the day!

Mystery Reader #19: A Volleyball Playing Older Sister

This older sister surprised her younger sister by being our final Mystery Reader of the year!  Thank you so much for reading a story to us and for the treat!

Mrs. Stocker and Mount St. Helens

At the end of 2nd grade the students can't wait to learn about volcanoes and make them!  Mrs. Stocker stops by each year to share with us her experience with the eruption of Mount St. Helens and her volcano visit in college.  Mrs. Stocker is a great storyteller, and she has the students laughing through much of her stories.  She also brings in items that were made out of ash after Mount St. Helens had erupted.  Thank you so much Mrs. Stocker!

Balloon #5: Daily 5 Outside

The balloon we popped today was Daily 5 outside!  It feels so nice and calming sit around the pond and enjoy our books while taking in the nature around us!
