Lever Launchers

Today we read the book, We're All Wonders.  We learned an important message about how to treat people who are different.  The boy in the story puts on a space helmet when people hurt his feelings.  To help us remember this lesson we made astronauts and then created levers to launch them.  It was a fantastic Friday!

Dot Day

Today we celebrated International Dot Day.  It is inspired by the book, The Dot.  The book is about a girl who believes that she can't draw.  With a little encouragement from her teacher she becomes motivated and eventually gains confidence and realizes she is a creative artist.

"Make your mark and see where it takes you!"  Peter Reynolds

CELEBRATE!

We celebrated the last day of school today!  I am so proud of each of them.  They are ready for 3rd grade!!!

Sam the Photographer

Sam earned "photographer for the day" today.  He took pictures throughout the day that he wanted to share on our classroom blog.  I hope you enjoy his photos!
