We had a writing celebration today! We put all of our desks in a box and then we walked around and read each other's personal narratives. We commented on the back of the ones we read. All the kids did a wonderful job. Charlie's was funny because his was a circle story that started over again at the end. We went to art class. We did two steps of our "Different is Good" project. We earned erasers for good behavior and work in art class. In math we practiced ball park estimates. If the number ends in a 5 or up, round up. If it ends in a 4 or under, round down. I did my presentation on the Lincoln Memorial this morning! It went well. Charlie presented the Statue of Liberty. He even had handouts! He read us a poem. Madison taught us about Mount Rushmore, and so did Alex. They made models of it that looked just like it! Margaret made a styrofoam model of the Washington Monument. Dominic studied the Golden Gate Bridge and made it out of straws and string and construction paper. The projects were so cool!
Second graders are busy people!
