Tales from Mrs. Willett's Second Grade: March-April 2012 Update

As you know, we have been super busy with Blue Ribbon preparations, DIBELS testing, etc. Therefore, I am just now getting an opportunity to update my blog. I have so much to share. I am going to begin with St. Patrick's Day. We so enjoyed learning about St. Patrick and the traditions that surround his holiday. We read books, watched a United Streaming video about the Irish (including Irish dancers and other neat Irish customs), and created a great St. Patrick's Day craft.

We thought about all the ways that we are lucky. We then wrote our top ten reasons that make us "The Luckiest of Them All". Check-out our great leprechauns! Did I mention that I love pinterest!!!

Now that the weather is warmer, the kids can venture outside to the outdoor music classroom. WE LOVE IT! I have posted some great pictures of all the fun below. Thanks, Ms. Marla for teaching us how to play all of the instruments!

Take Your Child to Work Day

After Spring Break, we had Kite Day, Take Your Child to Work Day, planted the butterfly garden, and most exciting, received our caterpillars in the mail!! We are doing a great job as caterpillar moms and dads! We have provided all the necessities for survival, including food, water (from the mallow), air (from the holes in the lid of their "homes"), and a safe shelter.
