Cupcake Decorating

 Last week the high school celebrated "Snow Week."  They invited us to decorate cupcakes with them on Tuesday morning.  The class was pretty excited to join in on this activity!

Happy Holidays from 2nd Grade!

 The students were so excited to get our holiday party started yesterday!  They couldn't wait to exchange gifts with a classmate!  Once they opened, they enjoyed sharing what they got with each other.  I hope all of you have a wonderful holiday!

Happy Holidays from 2nd Grade

 This time of the year sure is magical in 2nd grade!  The students were so excited for their holiday concert.  We finished up some holiday reindeer just in time to add some decoration around our room.  The students did a great job at the concert!

Happy Halloween!

 The 2nd graders couldn't wait to get into their costumes!  This afternoon we enjoyed a snack, a few games, and a costume parade!  Happy Halloween everyone!

Banana Bingo Celebration!

 On Monday we earned our first banana bingo!  Throughout a school day, the class earns points by transitioning quickly and quietly back to our seats.  When I say, "Banana to your seats," the class knows to return to their seats without voices.  This earns them a banana point.  They also earn points when materials are handed out, and the quiet helpers confirm that there were no voices.  Once 5 points are earned, we draw a number and add a banana to our bingo board.  Eventually, we get a bingo!  Once a bingo is earned on our board, we brainstorm ways to celebrate as a class.  For our first celebration the class voted on watching a movie with popcorn.  Once an idea has been used for banana bingo, it won't be repeated.  We'll always celebrate in a new way.  The students were beyond excited to celebrate on Wednesday afternoon!

Tree Planting

 On Tuesday all the classes at Lanesboro Schools participated in a tree planting event.  New trees were planted all around the school.  The 2nd grade class planted a tree in front of the school.  The students were able to help with digging out the hole, mulching, and watering the tree.  It was an adventure!  It will be fun for the 2nd graders to watch this tree grow, as they grow, throughout the years!

Homecoming 2021!

 What a fun homecoming week we had at Lanesboro!  The highlight of the week in elementary is the homecoming parade on Friday.  We were 2nd grade fantastic froggies cheering on our Burros!  2nd graders, you did great on Friday!
