Candy Cane Reindeer

 We ended our day by working on a holiday art project.  It is so fun to turn on holiday music, sing along, and paint!  It is especially fun with this fantastic group of 2nd graders!  Wishing everyone a safe evening!

Thankful Writing

 At the end of the week we started an art and writing project to go along with Thanksgiving.  The students completed a directed drawing of a turkey, used their water colors to paint them, and then wrote about what they are thankful for.  It is always so sweet to read about what is important to the students.  They sure love their families!

Crankenstein Art

 This week in 2nd grade we read the book "Crankenstein" by Samantha Berger.  In this story, the main character details all the funny situations that turn him into a Crankenstein.  We talked about how we all have things that make us cranky.  The students brainstormed a few of their ideas on a bubble map.  These ideas will be turned into complete sentences and put into their own Crankenstein books.  On Thursday and Friday we worked on our Crankenstein self-portraits.  They had so much fun with this!

Fantastic Froggies!

This week we finished our froggy art project.  These at these 2nd grade froggies!
