Students in Ms. Habowski's Second Grade class celebrated Easter by making a fun Easter snack. Students enjoyed making and eating edible nests with eggs.
Over the winter months, students in Ms. Rhodes' 2nd Grade class built an igloo in their classroom from milk jugs. They spent time in the igloo reading, doing school work, or resting with friends. Now that spring has arrived, their igloo has since melted.
First Grade students and teachers took advantage of the warm weather yesterday to take their math lesson outside. Students used chalk to practice using different measurement techniques. Some students even had the opportunity to measure Mr. Fetterman!
2nd graders in Ms. Rhodes' class zoomed into the Easter season by completing a listening activity, and they built a Rabbit Twinkie car with edible ingredients.
The luck of the Irish was recently with 2nd grade students in Ms. Rhodes' class. They took a math challenge and earned their clouds and each color in the rainbow to create their own edible rainbow.
