Election Day

With the big day approaching tomorrow, we took a few minutes today to talk about this years election.  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. 

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. 

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!

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.

Happy Halloween!

Check out the fabulous time we had on Halloween in second grade!!!  Thank you Mrs. Jovic for capturing us on this special day.  We could hardly contain our excitement all day long waiting for the parade and party to begin in the afternoon. 

 

After lunch we all climbed into our costumes and got ready for the Doherty Halloween Parade! 

 



 

 

 

Back in the room had so many fun festivities to participate in! We made a yummy cupcake!

 

 

 

 

 

 

We made a cool Halloween bookmark to take home and use during all the reading I make them do EVERY NIGHT!!!  (Except on Halloween night).

 

 

 

We even got fun Halloween tattoos!

 

 

 

Thanks so all our volunteers for helping out during the party and planning such a fun event for the class.  They really appreciate all you do for them.

 

 

 

Just hanging out a little waiting for school to be over and TRICK-OR-TREATING to begin!  "Is it time to go home yet?"

 

 

 

 



Look Who's Hang'n Around Outside Our Classroom

YEP!!!  That's right!!!  We won SPLASH!  We found Splash taking a little jump over our doorway bright and early this morning.  We were the most well behaved class at lunch and specials for the entire week!  GO US!!!

Tigers Make it to the World Series

Can you believe it?!?!?!  The Tiger's are in the WORLD SERIES!!!!  To support our Tigers and cheer them on, we had a pep rally at Doherty to rev us up for tonight's first World Series game.

 

Our class helped make the decorations for the gym.  We made posters and pennants.  What do you think???  Cool, huh?

 

GO TIGERS!!!!

Mr. Germanski and Mrs. Abeska did a WONDERFUL job planning such a fun event for the school!

It was REALLY LOUD when we were cheering, lol!

One of the events was a relay race.  Each team had to put on full baseball gear and run to the other side of the gym...then take it all off and the next teacher had to put it all on.  Mrs. Hammerick's team WON!!!

How do I look?  I'm ready for my next piece of baseball clothing!

Another event was the trivia contest.  Daniel was voted to be the representative for our class.  He did a great job...I didn't even know the answers to some of the questions!

Another relay race with students!  No one from our class participated, but it was really fun to watch!

The teachers participated in a bubble gum blowing contest.  Any ideas who you think won?  It was Mrs. Mustapha!!!  She blew the biggest bubble.

Go Mrs. Mustapha!!!

And finally....the best part of the whole assembly!  The three winners of the trivia contest were awarded with their prize...a BIG fresh pie to throw in a teacher's FACE!!!

Mrs. Halpin coming in with the pies.

Watch out Mrs. Funk....here's it comes!

Mr. Palazzolo really liked his pie.

What a fun event!!!  Go TIGERS!!!  Beat San Francisco!!!  What a fun event to be a part of!
