We have been learning about bats!  I learned that bats are nocturnal which means they hunt for their food at night and sleep during the day.  ----Rachel

In science we are learning about land habitats.  In a woodland forest you can find deer, mice, frogs, and raccoons!  Mushrooms also grow there.  There are a lot of plants there and it has all four seasons.  Moss also grows on the trees.-----Katie

We are going to do a book report next Friday.  Mine is about snakes.  I will be interviewing a snake for my project.  We are learning about compound words.  -----Spencer

We are also learning about adjectives.  Adjectives are words that describe nouns.  My favorite adjective is humongous.  The dictionary is humongous!  We are also learning about Gideon.  Gideon was a farmer that God chose to be a leader for the people.  ----Joshua



We have been learning about maps in Social Studies.  We are working on making our own maps.  They need to have symbols and a map key and a compass rose.  I added Six Flags, a pumpkin patch, and a zoo to my map! -----Gracie

We have been working on our tall tales.  Mine was about a time I went to the baseball game and we were in the first row! I said that I ate 1,000 Dip n' Dots and that I caught 80 foul balls! ----Jack W.

In my tall tale my mom and I went to Schnucks.  The real part was that we got some food, but then we tried to fit it all in our car, but it didn't fit, so we ate it!!!  We got so big that a helicopter had to come and pick us up!!  -----Jack B.

In math today we did Pumpkin math.  We weighed them, measured them, and tested to see if they would sink or float.  ----Landen

Animals, Animals!

We are going to the zoo for a field trip.  We want to learn about prey and predators.  Today we had a test in Science about different animals groups.  My favorite group is the birds.  They are very pretty and sometimes they can be pets.-----Emily

Today we had a spelling test. My hardest word was require.  In Language Arts we were learning about Johnny Appleseed.  I learned that Johnny Appleseed's real name was John Chapman.  He was good with animals and was a friend to all nature.  Here's a joke: How do you spell candy with two letters?  (We will post the answer next time!) -----Joe

Today we had a Circle of Concern day.  If you brought in 10 items you could wear jeans, a hat, and pick your own shirt to wear.  We are writing tall tales.  My tall tale was about when I dropped my Grandpa's birthday cake.  ----Avery

We learned about animals in science.  We also did animal book reports.  Mine was about whales.  They can eat up to 700 squid a day! And we learned about animal groups.  My favorite animal group is either mammals or reptiles. ------Charlie

Second grade begins!!

Our class is doing a project with plants in Science.  Our class has two plants: Plant A and Plant B.  We put tin foil over the leaves of plant A.  We will keep watering both plants and see what will happen.

In Social Studies we are learning about communities.  Our school is in a suburb. 
In Religion we learned about how God made the sun, the moon, and the stars.  He also made the grass, the trees and the plants.  He made everything!!
We have also been learning Bible verses.  Our first verse is "I trust in You, O Lord; I say you are my God." Psalm 31:14.
In Math we are doing our doubles addition facts.  We also made a graph of all of our birthdays.
