What is the MORAL to the story?

Finding a partner is so fun.  We listen to fun songs and dance.  

Then when the music stops your find a partner.

Each partner read their story and determined 

what was the moral of the story.

Fraction Fun

We had fun today exploring fractions today 

using Hershey's Bars.  

They were able to break the Hershey bar into 12 parts.

We had fun making up different problems using 

the parts to form fractions.

Being a Good Friend

Our Counselor, Mrs. Martinez, came and 

did a lesson for us about being a good friend.

Representative Strickland

State Representative Strickland came to visit Bear Creek today.  We were lucky enough to have him come into my class and visit with the students.

It was AWESOME.  I was so proud of them

He asked them what they learned today.

They told him about an ipad presentation we were working on.  They told him all about the Phases of the Moon.

He asked them "What are the Phases of the Moon?" They proceeded to tell him all about Waning Gibbous and New Moon etc.  He was very impressed but I knew it was the oreos.

Unfortunately, this was at the end of the day Friday 

and I had 6 students out.  

Phases of the Moon

 Yumm Yumm!  Who does not love oreos.

We made the Phases of the Moon 

today using Oreo Cookies.

They had fun and learned the Phases of the Moon.  

Wacky Weather

We have had a blast practicing and performing our 

Second Grade Musical Wacky Weather.

Happy Birthday Elizabeth and Angel

Happy Birthday Alyssa

Pie Throwing

Today the whole school came into the gym to 

watch pies be thrown at the coaches.

Anyone who collected over $100 for 

Jump Rope for Heart was able to 

throw a pie at a coach of choice.

Luke and Tyler were the lucky throwers from our class.

It was so funny!!

Open House

Student Showcase otherwise known as Open House 

was a huge success.  The students loved showing the 

parents all their hard work.

I apologize to any family pictures I missed.  

It was a very busy night.

Project Based Learning

PBL = Project Based Learning

What does this mean?

Well the students are presented with a problem 

also called a driving question.

They think about what they know and need to know in order to solve the problem.

Then they used laptops, ipads and books to research.

Then finally they work in groups to make 

presentation to present the information they learned.

Everyone worked very hard.  Their projects turned out Awesome.  Hopefully, you were able to come to Student Showcase Night and check it our.
