Our day started off with our Adjective Parade. The parade was a complete success!!! All of the kiddos did such an amazing job with their article of clothing. We got SO many compliments today. Thanks for helping make our first adjective parade a success!!! :) Here are pictures as promised. and a link to Mrs. Ross's page. :) After the parade we had a gallery walk to be able to see all of the different adjectives & then we wrote about what our favorite adjective was and why (opinion writing). We will be turning these into a classroom book, with pictures of all the kiddos dressed up! :)
We then had Makers Space - we got to program robots & make mazes for Ozobots. Super fun!! Here are some pictures.
We also taste tested candy corn with Mrs. Reynolds and Ms. Ragsdale's classes. We then made a bar graph about which candy corn was our favorite - the original won by a landslide!!! We also practiced our adjective skills by describing the candy corn. Look at all the fun we had!
A humongous thank you to all the parents that helped to put our party together by either donating items or helping out at the party! I didn't get any pictures taken - sorry, but we went on a nature scavenger hunt and had lots of delicious fruits, vegetables, and a couple of sweets. Lots of fun and yummies to go around.
Next week's learning:
- Reading: We will be working on asking questions. It is important to ask questions before you start to read, while you are reading, and after you have read to help with comprehension. Next week, we will be specifically talking about activating our schema by asking questions before we start to read.
- Science: This week we practiced researching about bats. Next week, we will be researching about spiders.
- Math: I cannot believe that first trimester is coming to an end!! We will be reviewing everything that we have covered so far this year, and taking our 1st trimester math assessment.
- Writing: We will be finishing publishing our personal narrative, and starting our second one. This second personal narrative will be much more independent to see what the students are able to apply to their writing on their own.

STEAM Bus Fundraiser: A Note From Craig Adams (CPS STEAM Coordinator)
Come
out this Saturday to the Columbia Mall to support the STEAM Bus at Barnes and
Noble bookstore! While you’re there, check out some of the cool things
that kids are making at our “Maker Faire” in the Target wing. Students
from all over CPS will be displaying some of the projects they are currently
working on! A percentage of that day's sales will be donated to help fund further STEAM Bus and Makerspace projects all around Columbia Public Schools.
United Way Total
I am so proud of all the 2nd graders. They (and you) have been so incredibly generous and have donated $382.09 to the United Way. Thank you for all of your wonderful support!
