February Continued!

We made heart people for our Valentine's Day Bulletin Board. They turned out pretty cute!

The Lions Club came to our classroom to give each student a Magic Tree House Book. We were so excited. We have been reading them like crazy in our classroom. A huge thank you goes out the the Lions Club!

February is I LOVE TO READ month. We invited dads, grandpas, uncles, cousins, etc. to come into our classroom and read us a story. We were lucky to have Levi's grandpa and Saraya's dad read to us. Levi's grandpa read us a story about camping and Saraya's dad read us a story about a snow day. They were excellent readers and we really enjoyed having them in our classroom. 

To celebrate the 100th day of school we Skyped with a second grade classroom from Canada. We counted to 100 by 2's, 5's, 10's and 25's forward and backwards with them. Then, we shared our 100th day projects with each other. We also took a lot of time to share our weather and what our community was like. They were really surprised that we only have 100 people in the town that we live in. They were from a town of 600,000 people. We did learn that we had similar weather and discussed that this was because we were all up north. After this discussion we all decided we should move south! 

Our 100th day projects!

We did many 100th day challenges. These were challenges that could only be accomplished by students who work hard and have been through 100 days of second grade. The challenge below was to see if we could sit in every chair in the classroom in 100 seconds (1 minute 40 seconds)!
