We welcome Graham to our class!


This week we got a new friend, Graham Lopez. We were so excited to have him join our class on Monday and hope that he's enjoying it. He is sure a great addition to our class.

This past week has been "Red Ribbon Week." We've celebrated our decision to always keep our bodies safe from drugs and alcohol. We also had spirit day and had everyone in the class wear their school shirts, so we got glow-in-the-dark fangs from the PTA. It doesn't get much better than this!

Some more great experiments!












We have had some incredible experiments lately! Wow! The things we're learning about are so fun! One thing we've discovered is that science sometimes seems like magic, but it can all be explained through the process of science. Isn't science fantastic. My camera was out of batteries for a couple of the experiments, but we'll have to get them next time around. It's a good thing we get two chances to do an experiment! It's simply too much fun for only one chance!

Thanks for a fun birthday!


What a surprise! Maizey's mom brought in donuts before recess and I got a special hat, princess sash, and a wonderful card from the best 2nd graders in the world! It made my day!

Buckled up for a Safe Ride!







The PTA sponsored Green Ribbon Safety Week this week and had the highway patrol bring a special seat belt demonstrator machine to school on Friday. It was so fun to get belted in and experience a 'safe' 6 mile per hour crash! We would never want to do it without seat belts!

Science can be a 'hair raising experience'!







We love Thursdays and our student science experiments! This week we learned from McKenzie that putting soda into some vinegar in a crinkled up soda bottle can actually take out the crinkles! Then Maizey explained how hair gell works and styled Eli and Jared's hair! Wow! We loved it!
