Mrs. Hooper's Second Grade Blog!

Our Friendship salad last Thursday was a huge success! Thank you to everyone for sending in the fruit. We had fun making it and then enjoyed eating it at snack time with our friends. We had plenty for our class so we shared it with other friends throughout the school. We also got to celebrate Mr. Maurice’s birthday. He is our special friend!

We had some special visitors last week. Three third graders from Malletts Bay school came to our classroom to talk to us about MBS. They did a great job answering questions and telling us about their school. It was also fun to see some old friends!

Beavers
We had a great time learning about beavers today. We also made beaver lodges and had fun eating like beavers. One special person got to dress up like a beaver. We learned a lot during Four Winds.

One of our favorite read alouds this spring has been Gooney Bird Greene by Lois Lowry. We have decided to celebrate this fun book by coming to school on Friday, May 10th dressed in the “style” of Gooney Bird Greene.

The boys and girls in my class along with their families did a great job of collecting rocks and soil from a variety of places. We now havesamples from:

Puerto Rico, Maryland, New Hampshire, Ontario, Cape Cod, Washinton D.C. and Vermont.

Here is a sample of some work you might see at the show. The CSD Art Show wil be happening Tuesday, May 7th-Friday, May 10th at CHS. It will be open 8:00 AM-4:00 PM everyday. Thursday evening there will be a reception with refreshments from 6:00-8:00. It is supposed to be an amazing show!
