Mrs. VanDenBoom's students had a great time last Tuesday using strings of various lengths to practice "measuring". Students are learning about longer and shorter and taller and shorter and had fun moving around the room (while staying socially distanced 😊) and measuring various objects. They then drew those objects on their recording sheet under "shorter" or "longer".
If your child has been exposed to or has tested positive for Covid-19, please contact the school office immediately. It is important that you keep us updated with information as you learn it.

The 1st snowfall of the season!
Mrs. Shugg's 2nd Grade Class 11-24-20
Mrs Tapper's 2nd grad class enjoying the first snowy recess!
Mrs. Shugg's 2nd grade:
Today, our classroom is taking the time to express how much they appreciate their classmates and why they are thankful for them. Each second grader chose a sticky note, read the name on the back, and completed the sentence, "I am thankful for_______________ because ____________." The second graders then shared with the class what they had said about their friend, and handed the sticky note to that friend. The smiles were huge as each student got to hear why their classmate was thankful for them. We discussed how it felt to make someone else happy by telling them why we are thankful for them, and also how it felt when we heard why our friends were thankful for us. We then talked about how even though Thanksgiving only comes once a year and we stop to think about all we are thankful for at this time, we should really stop and think about all we have to be thankful for all year long.
Good Morning Early Elementary families! I hope the kids are excited to return to school tomorrow, Thursday November 19th.
It is very important to send everything that was sent home friday, with your children tomorrow.
