Welcome Back Incredibles!
In Math we are studying Measurements. We spent the work period in Math comparing lengths and using direct and indirect comparison to identify equal lengths.
In Science we were figuring out which container holds the most water? We are finishing our study of Matter.
We took time out to take a picture with Miss Harkins. We are so excited to have her spent the next 92 days with us. Yes, did you know that today is the 88th day of school? February 3rd will be the 100th Day of School! Wow! Time flies when you are having fun! Ryan, Mrs. Lankford’s son who attends The University of Illinois came by for a quick visit. It was great! The students had super questions for him and he actually autographed balls and notes for all the students! Thank you Ryan! Go Illini! Enjoy the slideshow!

Multicultural Day 2011!
Multicultural Day 2011 on PhotoPeach
Second Grade Multicultural Day!
On Thursday, we will traveled the world to see, how other cultures celebrate the holidays differently.
We made Kwanzaa mats called mkeka and played the game of Dreidle. We actually went caroling (parranda) down the first grade hallway and to the dining room for the staff. Parranda is a long standing Christmas tradition in Puerto Rico!
A huge Thank you to Mrs. Snead, Coach Bailey and Mrs. Tamburrino, who taught us all about Kwanzaa, Feliz Navidad, and Hanukkah.
On Friday we came to school with our pajamas on and enjoyed the movie The Polar Express and an awesome visit and story from Auntie Claus. It was an incredible way to end 2011!
Miss Correia and Mrs. Lankford thank you so much for all our Christmas goodies! We appreciate your thoughtfulness!
Happy Holidays to you and your family! See you on Tuesday, January 3, 2012

We learned about family seals, the history of names and heard awesome poems and legends. One of our students from India shared kum kum jewels to wear on our foreheads. What an incredible experience for us all to hear some interesting facts about our classmates. Well done boys and girls! Enjoy the slideshow!

Bean Biologists Part Two
Bean Biologists Part Two on PhotoPeach
We have enjoyed every minute of learning about The Life Cycle of a Bean Plant.
Each student was given a Ziploc bag and a seed to place by the window. Over the past couple of weeks we have observed how a seed has grown into a plant. We also planted seeds in soil and place one by the window and one in the closet.
Our discussion covered several topics. What do seeds need to grow? What roots are for? Why are plants important? We discussed what we noticed was happening and why we thought it was happening.
Each student drank with a straw to show how important roots are. The straw represented the root system and the drink represented the water. The students began on the floor in a ball as seeds and drank the water to grow tall like plants. It was a fun experiment!
As you can see from our slideshow some seeds grew faster than others.
Overall it has been an incredible experience seeing a seed grow into a plant.
Ask your Bean Biologist what they learned.
