Thank you to Elliot's mom who came in February to teach us all about Lunar New Year and to make our very own dumplings! What a special treat it was!

Exploring Europe

Tuesday, students explored the following maps of Europe:

*population density
*lights at night
*landmarks
*countries
*amount of sun

In partners, students compared and contrasted the maps and recorded things they saw, they thought, and they wondered about.  I was quite impressed!

100's Day!!!



Trying to figure out how to use exactly 100 cereal boxes to build our reading house.  The tricky part was that we needed a door and three windows! 








Designing our 100's day shirts!






 Opening Ceremony!!!!







Let the games begin!

What do you do with things you find in the trash?

100th Day

The 100th day of school is just around the corner and we are slowly but steadily reaching our goal of 100 cereal boxes so keep sending them in. Our plan for the 100th day is to collaborate with 3 other second grade classes to host our own Davis School Olympics. We have fun activities planned which include an opening and closing ceremony. I was hoping that families could send in a white t-shirt for students to decorate at school. It can be a new t-shirt or an old one we can turn inside out. The students will prepare them prior to the 100th day, which is on February 9th, so please send the shirts in by February 7th. Thanks so much for your cooperation.
