Little Caesars Pizza, Our Garden, and the Skating Party

Little Caesars Pizza
Thanks to your donations of boxtops and labels for education, our classroom won a pizza celebration and a dress-down day! This fundraiser helps our school earn cash to spend on much needed supplies.

Our Garden
During our science unit on life cycles, we planted sunflowers in the box garden out behind the playground. We are happy to report that they are growing well.

Skating Party
It was nice to see so many of our 2nd graders at the skating party on Friday. It was lots of fun.

Cup-stacking, Dollar & Dimes for Diabetes, Student of the Week, and The Henry Ford

Cup-stacking
We are learning a lot in PE! This past week we competed in cup-stacking competitions. The kids loved this!

Dollars & Dimes for Diabetes
Our wing (Y5-2) won the Dollars and Dimes for Diabetes competition! Thank you so much for your generous contributions to SPS students who will be able to experience camp this summer because of us! Our class counted a lot of those coins, which was good experience in giving to others, counting money, and using a calculator.

Student of the Week
Ashton was Student of the Week for integrity. Ashton shows that he can be responsible in all situations. He is a great friend and a role model for others. Way to go, Ashton!

Madhav was the Student of the Week for integrity. Madhav is a wonderful scholar. Madhav works hard and enjoys learning and sharing what he knows. He met his NWEA goals and was very focused during the tests so that he could do his best. Well done, Madhav!

The Henry Ford
We had a wonderful time exploring The Henry Ford museum. Some of our favorite stops were, "The Rosa Parks bus," "The trains," "flying airplanes," "building the car from the inside," "the assembly line," "Lincoln's chair." Please share more pictures if you have them...I only snapped a few.

Science Olympiad, Concert, Multicultural Day & Parents as Teachers

Science Olympiad
Many 2nd graders competed in Science Olympiad this year. I am so proud of all they were able to accomplish.

Concert
Once again, Ms. Stout did an amazing job preparing our 2nd graders to sing their hearts out. They did a fabulous job!

Multicultural Day
We had a great day on Friday learning about one another. Many students presented and shared their cultural and traditions.

Parents as Teachers
Mrs. Arnold came in to teach us about multiplication properties. The students and I truly enjoyed learning from her.

Talented Kids & Reading Outside

Talented Kids
We represented SPS as a class very well at the Talent Show last Thursday. I am so impressed with these kiddos!

Reading Outside
On Friday we took our books outside. It was nice to get some fresh air and enjoy the spring as we read and wrote about our story of the week.

Science (What's the matter) and Student of the Week

Science (What's the Matter)
We concluded our unit on Matter by making oobleck. We had a lot of fun experimenting with different recipes and discussing the states of matter.

Student of the Week
Amogh was our student of the week. Amogh shows compassion every day. He is a thoughtful student who notices when others are in need - this includes adults. He is quick to lend a hand and to offer understanding when others make mistakes. He is a good teammate and classmate. Way to go, Amogh!
