Sharing Is caring

Second grade had a visitor last week! Mae the Boykin Spaniel came to Lower School for show and tell and the second grade was in love! We all took turns playing, petting and loving on Mae. Since her visit, there have been many class discussions on what type of pet would be a good class pet.

We recently read the folktale Stone Soup. Second grade learned about the elements of a folktale. Folktales are passed from generation to generation and always teach a lesson. Good always prevails over evil in folktales. In the folktale Stone Soup a stranger convinces a village suffering from drought and famine to share their food with one another and learn the lesson of looking out for one another and sharing with those in need. Our essential vocabulary word was contribution. Each villager made a contribution to the soup and learned to be happy together again. This week students brought their contributions to class and we enjoyed a bowl of stone soup together. Some of the class love the soup and other we’re not so thrilled. We all had a great time feasting together!
