Bike Rodeo and Track and Field Day!

Luckily the weather cooperated, and we were able to get in both bike rodeo this morning and track and field this afternoon.  Another successful Track and Field Day!  Way to go 2nd graders!

Balloon #4: Bumper Seats for All!

When a student fills up a bee punch ticket, one of the choices to celebrate is bumper seats- move to whatever spot you want in the classroom.  The balloon we popped today was bumper seats for everyone!  The students got busy moving their desks.  Each individual could choose to join a group or enjoy some extra space.   It was pretty fun to do our work in these new spots today!

Thank you Seniors!

When we got back from bike rodeo today, we walked into the most wonderful surprise!  The door was shut with the lights off, and a group of seniors was sitting on our front rug!  They came to visit us to deliver letters they had written back to us.  Thank you Seniors!  That was so thoughtful of you!

Field Trip Day!

We had a great day in Winona!  We enjoyed learning about history at the Winona Historical Museum, lunch at the park, and paddling on the lake.  Thanks to all the chaperones that helped out today!

Thank you to a parent for getting this great video of the kids working together at Paddle for Life!

Ag Day

We enjoyed seeing all the animals at Ag Day yesterday!

Mystery Reader #18: A Birthday Boy We've Missed!

1) I have 5 cats and 2 dogs.
2) My favorite vacation is in California.
3) My name is the same as the past tense of draw.

This could only be our good friend Drew!  Today was his birthday, and we were so happy to see him again!  Many students jumped up to give hugs to this sweet boy.  We loved the Piggie and Elephant story you read to us and the birthday cupcakes!  We look forward to seeing you soon!

Balloon #3: Marker Day!

The students always ask to write with something other than a pencil, and today they got their wish!  Balloon number 3 was Marker Day! All day long they could choose to write with anything they wished to on their assignments.
