Last Day Fun!

Thanks for a great year 2nd graders!  I hope you have a wonderful summer!

We finally got to explode those volcanoes today!

We always clean our desks with shaving cream on the last day!

The last day tradition with Mason and Ellie- ice cream from the pink ice cream shop!

Final Balloon: Treasure Hunt!

Our final balloon activity sent us on a treasure hunt with clues around the school.  These clues lead us to the library where we found our treasure: a new book!  There's no greater treasure than a new book!  The book was "Dragons Love Tacos 2."  We read both books today, and the students voted on their favorite.  Majority said that the sequel was their favorite!

Balloon #5: Lunch and Dance Party in the Classroom

Balloon number 5 was lunch and a dance party in the classroom.  I think more dancing than eating goes on during this lunch break!

We also celebrated the end of the year by visiting the slushy stand!

Bike Rodeo, Class Play, Track and Field Day

What a great day Friday was!  One of my favorite days of the year!

We started the day with Bike Rodeo.  Mr. Semmen checks over the students' bikes to make sure they are ready for summer.  Then the students ride their bikes through an obstacle course.

Next up was our class play: "The Weatherman on Trial."  The students worked hard and were excited to share it with their families.

Our afternoon is spent at the football field for Track and Field Day.  Unfortunately, I have no pictures of track and field because I'm so busy taking down scores and team placements.  I'm so thankful that we had a beautiful afternoon to enjoy the activities!

Balloon #4: Daily 5 Outside!

This is one of my favorite balloons.  I love taking the students outside to read and write around the ponds.  It's so calm and peaceful, and what a beautiful afternoon it was for a round of Daily 5 outside!

Balloon #3: Bumper Seats for the Whole Class!

It's always a treat to be able to pick your own spot in the classroom for the day!

Balloon #2 + Ag Day!

Balloon number 2 was share a story and a treat with kindergarten.  It's so nice for the 2nd graders to have the chance to spend time with those students we see across the hall every day!  We also got to visit Ag Day on Tuesday.  Fortunately, the rain cleared up just in time for us to see the animals.
