2nd Grade Family Robot Project

Last week I sent home the 2nd Grade Family Projects that are due at the end of January. The requirements are as follows: 1. build a robot with the following 3-dimensional shapes (rectangular prism; cube; cylinder; sphere; pryamid) and 2-dimensional shapes (circle; square; rectangle; triangle; trapezoid; rhombus; and parallelogram). 

2. Label each shape on the robot! 

3. Write a sentence for each shape describing how it was used on the robot. 

The students will be asked to read their sentences for the class on a pre-assigned day. The schedule for project deliveries will be sent home January 27th with the homework packet. 

Below are some examples of robots from last year's group. 

 

Winter Party info, Math Project Days and Stocking Stuffers!

We had a good time working on the 1st half of our "math project" today! I wish I took pictures!" Tomorrow we move from 2-dimensional shapes to 3-dimensional shapes! Thats when we crack open the yummy smelling marshmallows! Yea! Thanks to all of the families who supported this activity. 

I understand that Emily Ekayanake sent home a letter yesterday and an e-mail too! If you want to help out with the "Winter Party" please get in touch with her so that we have don't have 5 parents bringing in the same things. Lol! It is possible to have too many cookies! 

Someone asked about the stocking stuffers today. You are allowed to send small stocking stuffers into the class with your child to fill their friends stockings. Ideas are- erasers, fun pencils, party favors, i got each student a puzzle from the Dollar store that will nicely fill the bottom of each stocking. Please do not just send in 1 item for the "best friend". If you want to get a gift for that special friend, please set up sometime away from school to share that.

Thanksgiving

I am happy to say HAPPY THANKSGIVING to you all. As I rest in my parents home, happy and warm, I think of all the things and people I'm thankful for. Your children are the newest editions to that list! Each year I am blessed by the knowledge that I have 25 more people that I get to know intimately, and hopefully have a lasting impact on and relationship with. Not only do I fall in love with your children, but I've become friends with many of you too. I know it's not the norm, but thank you for opening your hearts to me as well (now good luck getting rid of me)!  

May this holiday bring you a wealth of happiness, warmth, love and only a minor food coma!

GE Volunteers at HLES

Today we explored the new additions to our school grounds.  The aqua habitat, outdoor clssroom, gardens, and weather stations were pretty cool.

Character Dress Up Day

We had a great day Friday!
Almost everyone had their Book Butterfly filled out. We shared almost all of them, and are still working on them.  Enjoy the pictures....
