Arts N Scraps brought each of us a bag of RECYCLED materials. Because we studied insects earlier in the school year, we got to make an insect of our choice using any of the materials in our bags. We had such a GREAT time and learned a little bit more about recycling, reducing, reusing, and renewing!!!<br />
<br />
Check out our COOL insects!<br />

Throughout the month, we read LOTS of Dr. Seuss books as a class. We've really gotten to know a lot about Dr. Seuss. On the day of our celebration, we completed 4 REALLY NEAT Dr. Seuss stations. <br />
<br />
First, we did a Dr. Seuss alphabetical order. We put lots of Dr. Seuss characters names in ABC order. <br />
<br />
<br />

Next, we made a red and white Cat and the Hat crown to wear. We LOVE making crowns to wear for all our celebrations.</div>

Then, we made a THING 1, and THING 2...and a THING 25 and THING 26! Whatever our number is in class, is the number our THING was. On the strips of hair, we had to write down the titles of Dr. Seuss books we liked best.</div>

Finally, we made a yummy Cat in the Hat snack. We built a hat from a Nilla Waffer, red Lifesavers and white frosting. Then, we had to draw a diagram of our snack and label all the parts.<a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-ebOjBBbJJMo/UZLD6d3jg5I/AAAAAAAAE9E/NH39wk9tnZ4/s640/blogger-image-1245966567.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-ebOjBBbJJMo/UZLD6d3jg5I/AAAAAAAAE9E/NH39wk9tnZ4/s640/blogger-image-1245966567.jpg" width="640" /></a><br />

February has been a BUSY month...Groundhog's Day, Valentine's Day, 100th Day of School...and now PRESIDENT'S DAY!!! We've been busy learning all about our two most famous presidents...George Washington and Abe Lincoln. We've spent many days reading and researching all about them.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
To celebrate all the learning we have been doing...we had a President's Day Celebration!!! Thanks to all the MOMS that came in to help make our morning a GREAT SUCCESS! The kids rotated through 4 president stations.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
First up...we made Abe's log cabin. We learned how Abe was born in a log cabin and grew up very poor in Kentucky. We gathered our milk cartons from the cafeteria...washed them out ;) ... and spread CHOCOLATE frosting all over them. Then, we stuck pretzel sticks to them and they looked JUST LIKE HIS LOG CABIN. </div>

We all made a book about Abe's life. We cut it out, stapled it together, read it...and finally answered some questions at the end!</div>

Next up...we brainstormed some facts we remembered about George Washington. Did you know George lost ALL of his TEETH!!! Yep...that's why you never see him smile with his teeth showing. AND...he NEVER lived in the White House (because it wasn't built yet). We wrote down SIX facts we learned about George onto long white strips of paper. Then, we made a 3 corner hat...just like George would have worn. We stapled the hair onto the hats. We looked just like George...don't you think?!?!?</div>

Finally...we made one of every one's favorite snacks...AN ABE LINCOLN HAT!!! We used an Oreo for the base of the hat...and FOUR Rolo's for the top of the hat. We stuck them all together with MORE CHOCOLATE FROSTING!!! Yum!!! Then...we had to write about how we made it and draw illustrations...so if our moms and dads wanted to make one at home, they would know how ;)</div>

Hope you had as much fun on President's Day as our class did!!!Monicahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16170180992297983942noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7028493498697440396.post-83629665110037816972013-02-15T11:54:00.000-08:002013-03-01T11:34:51.937-08:00100th Day of School<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It's the 100th DAY OF SCHOOL!!! Well...it's actually the 101st day of school! Since the 100th day of school fell on Valentine's day, we decided to have our 100th day celebration the day after the 100th. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I made a schedule for the kids to follow so they knew just what to expect on the 100th day of school.</div>

First off, we made a 100 day crown to wear all day...it read "I survived 100 days of 2nd grade!"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
For math...we had a 100 day HUNT. I put 100 sticky notes with numbers 1-100 on them all around the room. The kids had to walk around the room and color in on their 100's chart the color of the sticky note with the corresponding number. Eventually...many smart second graders figured out the patterned and was able to finish their grid.</div>

After we finished our grid, each student found 4 sticky notes and brought them back to their seats. We then constructed our 100's chart from the sticky notes to double check our work...to make sure we colored in all of our numbers correctly. Good job, guys!!!<br />

For writing...we created a bucket list of 10 things we would like to do before we turn 100 years old!!! Many of us wanted to go to college, travel around the world, and learn something new. Then, we made ourselves as if we were 100 YEARS OLD!!!!<br />

<br />
<br />
Finally...we had a little snack. Everyone (well...some of us) brought in 100 of something good to eat. We brought in Skittles, Cheeze Its, candy, cereal...and many other yummy things to eat. We counted by 100's when we mixed all our goodies. Then we got to enjoy our snack while we read for HALF of 100 minutes.<br />

Thanks to all the parents for helping out in the planning of a successful Valentine's party! The kids and I had a blast!Monicahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16170180992297983942noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7028493498697440396.post-44612830951128304832013-01-11T17:52:00.000-08:002013-01-17T18:08:59.483-08:00Celebrating Our Writing Craft<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We are becoming such great writers this year! This past unit we decided to learn from the best! No, not Mrs. Hammerick...REAL AUTHORS!!! Authors like Jonathan London, Patricia Pollacco, and Angela Johnson. We read a bunch of their books and paid special attention to what they wrote in their stories. We noticed they did a lot of neat and fun things. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
They wrote...ellipses, time words, comeback phrases, repeat-a-words, similes, onomatopoeia's (sound words), and adjectives. We learned from all their good ideas and added craft into our stories!!! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This writing celebration was a bit different than the others in the past. This time we were partnered up with a friend or two from Ms. Thomas' and Ms. Dickson's classes. We shared our stories with them and they shared theirs with us.</div>

<br />
<br />
Not only did we read our stories to our second grade friends...but we had to prove we learned a thing or two from this past writing unit. We had to show our friends where we added craft into our story. We filled out a checklist and had to write what our comeback phrase was, what our simile was, and what adjectives, time words, and sound words we wrote. <br />

<br />
<br />
...and...of course...a celebration isn't really a celebration without a a fun snack...or two. Thanks, moms and dads for all the goodies you manage to send in last minute. The snacks are what we look forward to most on a celebration day! <br />

I really hope all our parents enjoyed reading our latest and greatest story we brought home from our writing celebration. We really worked hard at proving we learned from a few great authors in this last writing unit.

We filled up our bingo board!!! Can you believe it? We've been working for quite a long time to earn a reward. We've been working really hard by walking quietly in the hallway (hoping to receive a compliment from a teacher or Mrs. Funk), being responsible by remembering to get our mail and lunchboxes at the end of the school day, having great behavior at assemblies and respect circle and whenever we have a quest teacher. <br />
<br />
Our job was to cross out as many numbers as we could earn in a day until we got to 100! As a reward, we voted to bring a toy to school for a day...yep! Any toy we wanted to bring from home...iPads, Lego's, dolls, Beyblades...anything!<br />

We have been studying mentor authors like, Jonathan London, Patricia Pollocco, and Angela Johnson. We've noticed so many things they do! They add dialogue, onomatopoeia's and similes in their writing. They also write ... (dot, dot, dot), use a lot of punctuation, and write many, many details. We like when they write comeback phrases and repeat words too. We've been working really hard to write like our mentor authors. <br />

This holiday season we made a special gift to give to our families. We traveled through the writing process...first we thought of a small moment about our families and planned out how our story would go. We wrote our draft including ALL the things we learned from our mentor authors...remembering to illustrate and revise afterwards. Our stories are magnificent!!!<br />
<br />
We published our books by making a fancy cover, a title page, a dedications page, an about the author page...and we even included a letter to our families explaining why the story we choose to write about was so special to us! Our families are going to LOVE them!!!!<br />

The kids all know who our two presidential candidates are. Over the past few weeks I've overheard a few conversations about who will win the title of President of the USA. These conversations usually happened during work time when they should have been focusing on other tasks. I thought it would be fun to see who would be the next president if it were up to our class. <br />

We learned about how important it is to vote and hold an election. We set up our own election booth and held an election. Each student took a few seconds to sit down and privately vote for their candidate. <br />

<br />
<br />
THE RESULTS ARE IN!!! By a vote of 11 to 10...OBAMA was our winner!!! We had a few voting cards that were not counted because some students couldn't decided or didn't know who to vote for. What a CLOSE vote!<br />
<br />
We graphed our results in our packet and compared our results. I guess we'll find out tomorrow (on our DAY OFF) who the next president will be.Monicahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16170180992297983942noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7028493498697440396.post-31975138772740428452012-10-31T10:44:00.000-07:002012-11-07T17:43:20.384-08:00Happy Halloween!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

Each class decorated a pumpkin as a story book character. Our class came up with lots of character ideas such as, Mrs. Green from the Black Lagoon, Junie B. Jones, Horrible Harry, Froggy and Amelia Bedelia. However, I thought the one that would be most fitting on our pumpkin was THE OLD LADY WHO SWALLOWED A FLY. Everyone knows the story <u>There Was An Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly</u>, and as soon as Trenton came up with the idea, I immediately decided our pumpkin would resemble her.<br />
<br />
Our pumpkin would not be as cool if it weren't for a few families in our classroom. Thanks Mrs. Pranis for donating a GIANT pumpkin for us to use. Thanks Mrs. Cervelli for carving our huge pumpkin and doing all the dirty work of cleaning it out. Greta and her family took our pumpkin home for a night and spray painted it black for the Old Lady's dress.<br />
<br />
I had so much fun putting our pumpkin together! The kids each helped in the creation of an animal the Old Lady swallowed in their table groups. Isn't she sooooo cool?!?!?<br />

Hooray! It's the start of the 2012-2013 school year. I've been working really hard to get our classroom organized, neat, and beautiful for the start of the year. Here is just a small glimpse of where all our learning will take place this year.<br />

Here is our classroom library. We have so many books to choose from when we read during reading workshop. Our library is sorted into fiction and non-fiction. The non-fiction labels are yellow and the fiction are blue. Some bins have green labels and there are both fiction and non-fiction books in these bins (because yellow and blue make green). We have a chapter book shelf and a favorite authors shelf. We work really hard on keeping our library organized and neat. It takes a lot of effort.<br />

We meet for calendar every morning after our welcome work and before our class meeting. Here we sing, count and write money amounts, record weather and temperatures, and tell time. I think that participating in calendar reinforces many basic math skills on a daily basis.<br />

Here are our writing and math areas. There will soon be vocabulary words up on our wall! We keep all of our writing paper, pens, tool boxes, dictionaries, thesauruses, etc on our writing shelf. In our math area we keep our math fact cards, manipulatives, and number scrolls.<br />

Every 2nd grader has a personal book bin. In here, just right books are kept for a week. Students have an assigned shopping day where books are returned to the classroom library and exchanged for new books. During reading workshop readers take their book bin to their assigned reading spot and read uninterrupted. <br />

We learned about what makes a book informational vs. fiction. We studied the different text features a non-fiction book may have. In writing, we learned about the process one might take to write an informational book. We started off by reading many non-fiction books about frogs (our class topic of choice). We recorded facts we thought were interesting on post-it notes. Then, we took all of our notes and sorted them into categories we thought would be good for our class book.<br />
<br />

<br />
Then...we got to choose our very own animal to write a book about and we did the same thing. We read books about our animals, took notes, and organized the facts. After, we wrote each section of our book and made sure to edit. We drew real looking pictures and added captions, diagrams, a table of contents, and even a glossary. The books came out FANTASTIC!<br />

Today we had our ANIMAL ZOO! All the 2nd graders dressed up as their animal or a zoo keeper. They created props and backgrounds. During the zoo, each student read aloud sections of their book as family and friends came around to listen. I'm so proud of all the learning that took place these past couple months in the area of non-fiction. Great presentations, guys!<br />

Thank you so much to ALL of the parent volunteers that came to help out with the festivities and to the parents that planned such a fun party. We started off with ice cream sundaes! Don't they look yummy? <br />

Next, we created a neat summer photo frame and magnet. We colored it and added glitter and rhinestones. Some students said they were going to put photos of their friends and family in their frames when they got home.<br />

As the year comes to an end, it's always bitter sweet. Yes...I won't deny that I am SOOOOO excited for summer to be here and to not have to hear my alarm every weekday morning to remind me to get out of my comfy bed and come to school. However, I'm sad to say goodbye to my students this year...many have been with me for TWO school years! These kids were with me when I was pregnant and Allie was born. They love (or at least pretend) to hear all the funny and crazy stories I share about her. Some students even look forward to the updates I post about her on <a href="http://adventuresofallie.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Adventure's of Allie</a> (her scrapbook blog). This class was a JOY to have and I'm going to miss them tremendously. They each will hold a special place in my heart. I love you guys and will look forward to seeing you in the halls of Doherty as you grow up and venture into new experiences. <br />
<br />
Have a great summer and enjoy every minute of it. Play outside, sleep in late, and eat lots of Popsicles! You deserve a much needed break after all the hard work you have done for me! Thank you for being a wonderful class and being great role models for others. I appreciate each and every one of you.Monicahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16170180992297983942noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7028493498697440396.post-1403711619701419562012-06-08T07:45:00.000-07:002012-06-13T07:46:31.178-07:00Cursive LicenseThe past 6 months we have been working SOOOOO hard on our handwriting. We learned how to write every letter in the alphabet, lower and upper case letters, in cursive. A couple weeks ago we applied for our cursive license. We had to take a cursive test and write a couple sentences in cursive which included every letter in the alphabet. We filled out our license and even attached a photo of ourselves. I packaged up all our paperwork and addressed an envelope to the state of Michigan in hopes that we would ALL be approved.<br />

Today Mrs. Turner called down to our room to let us know an envelope had arrived for us. To our surprise...the envelope had a HUGE stamp which read "Cursive License" on it! We were all so excited. <br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
Within the envelope was a letter addressed to our class stating that EVERYONE in our class was approved for their license!!! Whaaaa-hoooo! Now we can write anything we want in cursive...as long as we do so NEATLY.<br />

Today we were transported back in time over 100 years ago to the year 1892. We were fully clothed from head to toe in pioneer attire. The class was so cute carrying their "no-litter" lunch and wearing their handmade hats and bonnets. The past few weeks we've been studying communities of the past and present in social studies. We read the "Little House in the Big Wood" books together as a class. The kids have really enjoyed learning the stories of Laura Ingalls and her life in the 1800s. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Today we traveled to the Bloomfield Hills Nature Center and lived a day in the life as a pioneer child. We were split into two families and each family had a "Ma". We did the work of a pioneer child which consisted of making pegs to use for building houses, sharpening our tools on the grind stone, and sawing wood for the fire. We made candles so our house would have light and we also baked cookies for a sweet little treat...they were delicious! When all of our chores were completed, we had a little time to use the toys pioneer children played with.</div>

After a hard days work, it was time for school. We all went to the one room school house to spend the afternoon learning like a pioneer student. We wrote on slates (they were really squeaky) and we practiced spelling. We wrote the definitions for many words pioneers were familiar with. We did mental math and even had a little bit of time for some indoor recess. </div>

Tug-o-War! First we did girls against boys! The GIRLS WON!!!! Probably because we have WAY more girls in our class than boys. Then we mixed up the teams a bit for some other rounds. I jumped in and helped out here and there.<br />

I'm really made at myself for not taking a picture of our wrapped gifts. They were sooooo CUTE! I rolled up their art in paper and tied the ends with bright pink ribbon...they looked like huge tootsie rolls. The kids thought they were so cool. Moms...I hope you enjoyed opening up you masterpieces. Monicahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16170180992297983942noreply@blogger.com0
