Dear Readers,
Today in art we finished our portfolios for our different art work. We also put on some finishing touches on our animalitos. These were made out of sticks and did not fit in our portfolios since they are not flat and are delicate.
When we did music today in our classroom, we played music styles bingo. This means we learned what the styles sounded like before we could play. It was very fun!
In the afternoon, we made comic stories that were fiction that had a problem and a solution. Some of us made covers for our stories by using construction paper. We learned that a fiction story is a made up story with made up characters that has a problem and a solution. They are interesting stories.

Heritage Day-Getting Along
Dear Readers,
Today in the gym we went to the sixth grade heritage show and it was really cool. We learned alot about the other countries that the girls or their families came from to the United States. In E.L.A. we are learning about how people get along like citizens in the same country coming from other countries. So, we connected the two events of this morning and our reading for today. We also celebrated Ava Kennedy's ninth birthday. What a full day it was! We had a great day!

Helping Others
Dear Readers,
We are back at our blog writing more about our day. We have been growing herbs and spices in clay pots. They are growing very well. Today we learned about Cinco de Mayo and how important freedom is to all of us. In math we played money bingo and Jacqueline and Katey were our winners. We found some for our 30 book challenge in the library at library time today.
We have been learning how we can help other and how others help people to make the world a better place. Space day was May 1 and we have been talking about how learning about outer space is connected to helping others. Stay tuned to what we learn tomorrow.

Go Second Grade!
Dear Readers,
Today was the Christmas bazaar and the theme was beach and Christmas in tropical places. We also had art and traced our hands closed and opened, cut them out and finally made them into a wreath. We listened to the "Nutcracker" theme song and clapped the loud sounds. Next week we will use ribbons for the loud sounds.We danced in gym class to some Christmas carols. Yesterday we went on a field trip to West Chester University's Planetarium. What a great day that was! Right before Thanksgiving we made Advent Tagxedos on the computer. Then this week we learned more about animals and are starting research for making a power-point presentation of an animal of our choice.

End of Church Year 2014
Dear Readers,
Today is our last day of this church year. Sunday is the first day of Advent and a new church year. In the afternoon, after the computer room,we took a challenge and tried to make the tallest tower using marshmallows and spaghetti (not cooked). It had to stand for 30 seconds and we discovered it was very hard to do. The tables that worked together really made less mess and had a good base for their tower. We are thinking of ways to improve our towers for when we try it again. It was fun.
Now we are thinking of our Thanksgiving dinner and holidays and next Thursday's field trip to West Chester University's planetarium. We hope you all have a great holiday and a happy Thanksgiving.

Grandparents and Special Friends Day
Dear Readers,
Today some of our grandparents and special friends came to our school to visit us. We enjoyed a snack, going to chapel for a prayer service, seeing our classroom, and going to art and music with them. Some of us finished our turkeys that hold our Thanksgiving letter to Jesus.
This week we read from our IPads, did some oral reading to the teacher, and did a oral presentation of our saint that we researched and wrote about. We worked in the computer room and started researching on Little Explorers Dictionary from Enchanted Learning. We are looking for different animals that begin with different letters of the alphabet and giving clues about them for others to guess the animal. Different habitats are a part of our project. We hope everyone has a great weekend and happy Thanksgiving.

More Excitement
Dear Readers,
We had another exciting day because we finished our letters to Jesus in the computer lab. We even added a picture or two or three to our letters. Thanksgiving turkeys were colored and some of us cut out the turkey parts to hold the letter to Jesus about being thankful for everything.
Handwriting is fun because we are so close to starting cursive writing. We demonstrated how venial sins can hurt the whole group. By using clear water and dropping in food coloring when something said or done was mean or wrong on purpose. Prayer, kindness and compliments turned the water clear again. We also enjoyed working on word problems and solving them by using data in a graph. Friday is grandparents day and we are getting excited to welcome visitors. What an exciting week this is going to be!
