Wednesday in 2-3 by Ryan

Today we did our first rotation of centers.  I did the writing center and wrote about FALL.  We also did  MOTION today. We used marbles, string, tubes, straws, and tape to make a car move.  Eden and I used the tape and put it on the tube.  We attached the tube to the lunch bin and we put the car at the bottom of the tube ramp.  We dropped the marble down the tube and the marble made the car move forward.

MONDAY, MONDAY, MONDAY!! by: Ryan

This week, Ryan is our classroom blogger.  He will be keeping you posted on some things going on in our classroom this week.  Everyone welcome, RYAN!!!  

Today in 2nd grade we learned about the Constitution because it is Constitution Day.  The Constitution is the law of our country.  We also did our spelling test and had our first math test.  We did grammar too.  We were hoping that it would thunderstorm because Mrs. Porte has a special book to read to us during a storm.  Have a great night!

We're Learning and We LOVE It!

2-3 has been working so hard in second grade!  This week they practiced their  Working with Words center activity that allowed them to practice their spelling words in preparation for their test tomorrow.  Looks at these kids hard at work!

Happy 60th Birthday, DRYDEN!

What a great birthday celebration at Dryden last night!  Mrs. Dufern and Mrs. Powers did an incredible job of putting together such a special night.  It was really neat meeting some of the original teachers of our school.  We were so happy to have Dr. Jares be a part of last night's events as well.  The kids even put their signatures on a special birthday sign for the school! Happy Birthday to our wonderful school!!

60 years is such a special celebration!  Here's to at least 60 more!
