The girls' banners always have gold on them, and the boys' banners always have white.   Each class also has its own color. The class of 2018 will always carry red on their banner.

Math Connects online!

Math Connects online is an amazing resource!  Your child can go to this website and review the day's lesson, practice his/her math facts, or study for a test.  Using the link provided, go to Math Home and choose Second Grade.  The homework pages in your child's workbook indicate the chapter being studied at the bottom of the page.  We hope you will have your child take advantage of this excellent tool.

Sixth Grade Buddies Visit

8-A's Sixth Grade buddies came to our classroom and helped us make personal journals. We decorated the journals and glued in a picture from our first visit, when they gave us a tour of the middle school. We are looking forward to spending time with them again next week and writing about our adventures in our journals.
