Happy Chinese New Year

We have enjoyed the pleasure of having our International Prayer Pals come and visit our classrooms this week and share about the Chinese New Year.  The students were very engaged and had lots of great questions to ask!

Brrr!!! It’s getting cold in second grade!

With this cold and rainy weather we’ve had lately, all we’ve wanted to do is...HIBERNATE! We have been reading and enjoying the book, The Big Snow and learning all about animals that hibernate, migrate, or adapt. So we decided to give hibernating a try! We opened the windows, turned on quiet music, turned off the lights and snuggled into our sleeping bags for a long rest. To make it even more cosy, we wore pajamas and made snow! It was a great week!
