Photos and Valentine's Day Reminder

Wow! What  Tuesday we had. Discovery Place in the morning, and a big carrot harvest in the afternoon followed by a surprise Fat Tuesday Dance Party in the gym. Take a look at the pictures below for a glimpse into our busy, exciting day. 


Our morning at Discovery Place gave us the opportunity to learn more about the Coral Reef and the animals living there. We participated in several activities to help us understand coral more and were able to take a peek at some of the animals living in reefs. Several of our students were able to see their animal in action! See if your children can tell you how coral is similar to an apartment building when it's alive. We came home with some great new information!

That afternoon, we harvested a HUGE amount of carrots! It was amazing to see the energy and excitement of your children as they dug up the carrots we so carefully planted many months ago. A big harvest is being taken to Friendship Trays today and we are excited to find out just how many pounds are being donated. This is no doubt some of the most important work your children are doing in second grade and we couldn't be more proud to witness servant hearts growing in our classroom.  


Lastly, we will be having our Valentine's Day celebration on Friday. The celebration will include a card exchange only. As a reminder, should your children be bringing in Valentine's, please be sure they have one for every student in the class. 

We are hoping to walk to ImaginON Friday, which is a 1/2 day and NUTS Day. Please make sure your child is dressed appropriately and warmly!
