Visiting 3rd Grade

Today was our last full day of 2nd grade and we thought a trip next door to 3rd grade would be a great way to transition our students from 2nd to 3rd grade. They got to tour both 3rd grade classrooms as well as ask questions and have both the 3rd graders and 3rd grade teachers answer them. They looked pretty small in those big 3rd grade desks, but we know they will fill them well come August.

We have enjoyed teaching your children each and every day and hope you have a safe and relaxing summer.

Zoo Field Trip

We had a fabulous trip to the zoo!  Our students got to see all of the animals that they are researching. This was a great way to get some first-hand experience with their animal's behavior.

Shaving Cream Multiplication

Today we practiced showing groups of numbers in Math to help us visualize multiplication. The kids had a great time and were able to show us that they really understand multiplication!
