This week we are studying synonyms and we talked about a Thesaurus. There is an online thesaurus that I showed the students and some were asking for the address so they could go there at home.

Happy Thanksgiving!

We had our feast today at lunch. We enjoyed Lil Smokies, cheese, crackers, fruit, cornbread, and pumpkin pie! Everyone was dressed in vests and headdresses that we made yesterday. During the month of November we studied the Pilgrims and Native Americans. We wrote journals, letters and even two turkey stories. One of our stories was about what we are thankful for. I just want to say that I am VERY thankful for all of my wonderful students and their families. We are able to do things like our feast because of our amazing Kaufman families. Thank you to all the moms, dads, grandparents and friends who help make our events so memorable. I hope you all have a very relaxing Thanksgiving. Enjoy the slide show!

We won!

A few weeks ago there was a contest in the cafeteria to see who could eat the most servings of fruits and vegetables in a week. One of my awesome students turned in their paper and won! We received a beautiful fruit basket and we will be getting shirts! Here we are with our fruit basket! I took it all home, cut it up and we will be enjoying it very soon!

Scarecrow Day 2009

We had so much fun on Scarecrow Day. We started the day with a parade through the halls of Kaufman. Then we had to take care of some business, a spelling test, then it was on to our fall fun day stations. We played Bingo, Scarecrow Math, musical chairs, Pumpkin O Pumpkin, pumpkin toss and did some bat art. The cupcakes at lunch we so delicious! Thanks to everyone who helped out with this event! We had a great day!

Pajama Day!

Here we are with our Monkeys and Apes! Hugs, Not Drugs!

We don't monkey around, oh wait yes we do!!!

Today is Pajama Day! Our theme for the day is "Hugs, not drugs", so we brought our stuffed animals along with us. We also got to see a Ronald McDonald program today about staying drug free. Talk to your children about it and see what they remember!

Sneak Peek!

I am so excited to get to show you a sneak peek of our second grade class shirts! I received a sample today and just had to show the kids. They were so excited! Of course they all asked about the 2020, so I explained to them that it means they will graduate high school in the year 2020. They all thought that was very cool! Hopefully we will get our shirts this week so be on the look-out!
