Beach day was a blast!

@bkrainsford Haha thank you! They loved dressing up for the activity!

These 2nd graders had a blast showing off their knowledge of nonfiction text features today by completing surgery on Scholastic News magazines! Congrats to our surgeons on their success in the OR!

We celebrated being in 2nd grade on 2-2-22 today! Their reactions were priceless when I told them that they would be in college the next time a date with this pattern happens (3-3-33) 😍😅

Fluency fact snowball fight! ❄️ The kiddos didn’t believe me when I said they were going to crumple paper and throw it across the room😅 They had to solve the math fact before it was time to throw the ball and find a new one. But don’t pick up a yellow snowball…10 jumping jacks!

Happy Thanksgiving!

We’re involved in an exciting collaborative project called “Monster Match.” The kiddos worked in groups to design a part of our class monster. Then they had a challenge - create clear, descriptive “how to” directions so that a class we’ve been paired with in Walkill, NY (1/2)

[Carly Freeman @carlyfreeman05]

(2/2) is able to recreate our monster! They will be doing the same and we will be trying to recreate their monster based on their directions. Then, we will meet via video call and reveal our monsters to see if they match!

Popcorn math was a success! Loved seeing these kiddos so engaged!

[Carly Freeman @carlyfreeman05]

We had such a fun restaurant-themed day in 2nd grade today! Kiddos enjoyed “tasting” books and completing a food ABC order challenge!

Getting letters like this in the mail from last year’s students are my why 😍🍎

[Carly Freeman @carlyfreeman05]

And with that, this crazy year is in the books! What an amazing, resilient group of kiddos. We did it!! #FreeBruster

Glow Day fun! 🎇

(2/2) and I can’t wait to learn everything from how to do a layup, to how to make salt art, to how to speak Chinese, to all about sloths, and everything in between!

[Carly Freeman @carlyfreeman05]

Our countdown starts tmrw! Each balloon has a student’s name in it and when their balloon is popped, they get to be “teacher for the day!” They’re responsible for planning/leading Morning Meeting & teaching a lesson on a topic of their choice! They’re so excited to teach..(1/2)

Today we had a 5th grade Ellis Island Simulation as a culminating activity to our immigration unit. It was such a meaningful, authentic experience as Ss got to choose a real ancestor to “be” for the day. Congrats to these immigrants who were cleared for entry into the U.S.!
