BreakoutEDU

We had a fun activity we did on Friday that really challenged our class. They had to use a lot of teamwork to solve the problems around the room to open three different types of locks. They had 45 minutes to work together to find clues around the room. There was a black light hidden that revealed a the code to the directional lock. On trees posted around the room were arrows showing up, down, left, right, left that opened one lock. On another lock was picture clues that gave an alphabet code. They revealed the message that said, What you hear when Santa is near? They figured out that it was bells. That opened the 5 letter lock. Last. and the trickiest for our class, was the 4 number lock. They had to do a wordsearch and the left over letters spelled out 3 Christmas songs that led them to a clue of pictures that revealed songs. Each picture matched a song and had a designated number that unlocked the lock. This class was VERY smart and unlocked all three locks with 13 minutes remaining. Inside the locked box was a cookie for each student. They were pretty proud of themselves!

Santa Came to Visit!

Santa came to visit us on Friday. Each student received a candy cane and color crayons. Second grade sends a huge thank you! :)

Virtual Field Trip

We had an awesome virtual field trip last week. The course we did from Farm Academy was called, Milk: From the Dairy to Your Door. Our instructor introduced us to the dairy industry. We were taught about dairy products, breeds of cattle, lactation, nutrition, and digestion. She also taught about milk processing methods, both past and present. We experienced how milk travels from the cow to the grocery store. It was a great experience and we are excited to try some more in the future! 

We are thankful for...

We made thankful cornucopias on an app called pic collage. They turned out really cute! You can click on them to make them larger.  Have a great Thanksgiving!

Character Pumpkin Painting

They did an amazing job on their character pumpkins. It was such a fun day!

Hayride, Pumpkin Patch, and Corn Maze!

We had a great time yesterday! Mr. Peters picked us up at the school and we went for a hayride. He took us to his place where we went through the corn maze he made. After the corn maze, we went over to his pumpkin patch and we each were able to each pick a pumpkin out. We plan to use the pumpkins to make a book character. This is why they did not bring one home!

 Our class would like to give a huge THANK YOU to Mr. Peters. All the students had an excellent time and we appreciate his hard work, effort, and time he donated to the students at Viking Elementary!
