Our class comes in 17 flavors. i feel this title fits our class very well. We always discuss how we are unique and how we can find our own voices. I asked the students to write down how they feel they have become more unique in second grade. I think you will really enjoy reading these at open house on May 3rd.

Donuts with dad was awesome. The students had a great time chatting and eating. The egg drop was probably the best part for majority of the students. Mrs. Knox and I climbed on top of the roof to drop the eggs. I am sorry to report that only a few survived. Thanks again to all the dads or subs that attended. It truly was a great day!

Our first week of school and we've already won two awards. Each week awards are given out to the class that follows the PBIS expectations in certain activities. This week we won the "Golden Tray" for being polite and respectful in lunch line. We also won the "Golden Shoe" for being the only class not marked down in P.E. I am so proud of our first week!
