After Christmas

We came back to a New Year 2009 with a Christmas party to celebrate! Although it wasn't quite the same with the excitement of Christmas around the corner, we did manage to enjoy more Christmas treats and of course, have great fun opening gifts from each other! Thanks to all of you who helped organize our party and supply goodies. We appreciate your efforts. Our second grade team of teachers meet weekly to plan learning-standards based lessons filled with exciting themes and topics of real world interest that encourage and motivate our young learners. We are working on plans for units on the solar system in science with Mr. Hoesman (our second grade science guy), Martin Luther King Junior observances and writing, China for social studies, the celebration of 100 Days of School, observing Groundhog Day, Valentine's Day, and of course our big year with Abraham Lincoln, just to name a few! We plan to have lots of learning fun with everyone!
