Carolina on her tour!
Our class was able to visit our Partner's In Excellence, Kings Pointe, on Friday. We enjoyed swimming at the water park all morning! Carolina had a broken arm so she was unable to swim that day. Instead, she was given a tour of Kings Pointe and free passes to use when her arm is better. Kings Pointe has been a great P.I.E. partner and we felt very lucky to go swimming! Thank you Kelli and Sabrina! We had a blast!

M & M Fractions

In math we have been working with fractions. Today, we used M&M's in math to help us create some fractions. Each student had a fun size bag of M&M's. They were to sort the M&M's by color, tally the amount in each group, and then add the totals. Each student then found out what fraction of their bag of M&M's were for each color. They then found fractions for two colors at a time! We had a great time and they did AWESOME with their fractions this morning!

Ice Cream Party!

Our class earned an ice cream party last week! We reached our goal of bringing back 10 reading logs last month! We also earned an extra scoop and a topping because we brought back 2 logs above our goal. The class voted and decided the topping would be crushed Oreo cookies. It was a great pick! We have now set a new goal of bringing back 15 reading logs this month. If we reach our goal we will have another ice cream party only this time there have been requests of listening to some music during the party. Keep reading 2nd grade! You ROCK!
