Happy Holidays

We found so much joy celebrating the holidays, friendship  and community (and of course
 Owls). I missed a few photos of our  Read the Day Away readers but a huge thank you to all who shared wonderful stories.

 Saying good-bye and moving on is always bittersweet (we chatted about what that means).  I'm sad to see them move on but they are ready for the new challenge.  Thanks so much for all our families who supported us along the way with supplies, volunteering and guidance from home.  We couldn't have done it without our 2nd grade village.  Best wishes for a fun, relaxing summer! I'm always here if you need anything.  Check out the summer reading idea page . Enjoy these last scenes from room 140 and beyond!

What a fabulous week we had in 2nd grade! Thank you to all our families who donated, volunteered and chaperoned.  Thursday we celebrated the amazing country of Mexico with a yummy fiesta, beautiful traditional Mexican crafts and even a performance of La Cucaracha by a group of 6th graders(thanks to our amazing instrumental music teacher). Friday mother nature treated us to a picture perfect day for our Pine Cobble Hike.  Spending time with friends and exploring nature was a nice way to spend a day as the year winds down.
