And at once summer collapsed to fall -oscar wilde

We ended the month of September with a visit from Cooper Kimmel and his Bearded Dragon lizard, Beardie. Cooper told the students all about what Beardie likes to eat and what his environment is like. Thank you Cooper for visiting second grade!

October started with a special trip next door to 3rd grade to watch students as they performed their Poetry Cafe’. Our class learned that snapping is the polite way to applaud in a Poetry Cafe’. Students heard shape poems, cinquains, acrostics, limericks and alliterations from the third grade students. Awesome job 3rd grade and Mrs. Burks!

The weather has been very tolerable this week and we have made the most of being outdoors!

Did you know the human skeleton has 206 bones? Second grade learned all about the skeleton this week and we even had time to make our very own X-ray image of our hands. Ask your child about how many bones are in their individual fingers and in their wrist!
