Happy Holidays!

Happy Holidays!  We hope you have a wonderful break full of love and joy.

Spanish

2^nd graders practiced reading a simplified version of The Very Hungry Caterpillar in Spanish.  After several weeks of learning the alphabet and the vowel sounds in Spanish, the students illustrated a comic strip.  They read the story in Spanish to Ms. Lisa’s preschool class at Graland in small groups.  Some second graders were nervous to read to younger students but when it was complete, felt a sense of accomplishment (and relief!)  It also gave the students the opportunity to practice conversation skills after they completed their reading.  The class suggested questions to ask a three or four year old such as, “What’s your favorite special at Graland,” and “What’s your favorite lunch?”  Overall, reading in Spanish was a challenging, energetic and successful activity!

Coding

The 2nd graders really enjoying learning about coding this morning.  They were able to create their own code to move a character through a series of mazes.

12 Days of Christmas

We hope you will be able to join us for the Holiday Sing-Along on the last day of school.  The second graders will be singing the 12 Days of Christmas with their 6th grade buddies.  We got together with our buddies today so we could teach them the actions!
