I want to share with you all the wonderful things we have been experiencing together in our first one hundred days of second grade. We ended October with our Halloween Party and school-wide Halloween Parade. Unfortunately it was so busy, I didn’t get any photos of the students in their Halloween costumes but here is a photo of the watching a Halloween DVD waiting for dismissal after the parade.
Zero the Hero even got into the Halloween spirit by bringing clementines with “Jack-o-lantern” faces as a reward for solving his math challenge.
On November 9th, we finally got to go on our field trip to the Boston Museum of Science.
We arrived just in time to see the live animal show.
We got to see and learn about dinosaurs and lots of other interesting things!
Thank you to all our chaperones!
The students got to be paleontologists themselves back in the classroom. They were given dirt from a dig site, magnifying glasses and identification charts to help them find fossils.
Here are some more photos of students searching for fossils. Thank you to Ms. Allore and Mr. Santee for supervising our paleontologists during this hands-on science exploration.
