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.
