Authors and plays and butterflies OH MY
How lucky are we to have a week full of amazing activities. Storyteller, Rona Leventhal and author Molly Burnham inspired us to read , write and create amazing stories. The student favorite is always the Character parade. I caught most of the children but somehow missed snapping individual photos of a couple. Thank you parents for helping with the creative costumes. Thursday we shared wonderful books with our Community Reader Lyndsay Stratton(Vin's mom). Thanks to Mrs. Brill we were able to release several painted lady butterflies, always a special event. It all wrapped up with the suspenseful rendition of Mary Pope Osborn's book Winter of the Ice Wizard.
Artful Learning
This week we extended our learning by creating art. We have so many talented and creative second graders. After studying The Little Yellow Leaf this week we made a collage quilt of our favorite pages to celebrate the art of Caren Berger. Monarchs are magically symmetrical so we did a painting activity to explore the idea of symmetry ourselves. What do you do when your project is not finished but it's time for snack? Have a picnic snack, of course.
