I'm Not A Turkey!

Before Thanksgiving break, we took some time to create a turkey and then dress up the turkey as a different animal to hide. The kids then wrote clues about how their turkey was dressed. We read our clues to another 2nd grade class at Hutchison Elementary during a video conference. We had a great time! The kids did a super job with their clues! Click the link below to view the story we listened to before we did our activity.

George Ranch Field Trip

We had a great field trip today to George Ranch! We learned a lot about how they lived on a ranch in Texas a long time ago. We got a little bit wet in the rain, but still had a great time!

The Rockin' Water Cycle!

We have been studying the water cycle in Science. As a review activity we created a claymation video to show the different stages of the cycle. Watch the video, then ask your child to explain the different parts of the water cycle to you!

Pumpkin Lab

We had a great time during our pumpkin lab! We made predictions, measured them, counted their lines, and found out if they would sink or float. We even had time to do the "pumpkin wobble" race!

Writing Workshop

Today during writing workshop, we worked together with our writing partners. The kids had a chance to be the editor for their partner to help them "fix up" their story. Everyone really enjoyed this and did a great job!
