Bunny Measurements

We just created the cutest bunnies to help us practice our measurement skills.  The students drew and used water colors to paint a bunny.  Then they had to find the measurements in centimeters for the body, stomach, ears, eyes, nose, whiskers, and teeth.  This math project has certainly made our room feel ready for spring!

Spring Art Project

We're excited for spring in 2nd grade.  Last week we completed an art project to bring some spring vibes to our classroom.  The students started with a black piece of paper.  They drew any type of flower design that they liked.  We outlined the designs with white glue.  Once that dried, we filled in with oil pastels.  They turned out beautiful!

Banana Bingo Celebration: Lunch in the Classroom

This last Monday the students were able to bring their lunches to the classroom for our Banana Bingo Celebration.  We also turned on some music so the students could show off their dance moves while enjoying lunch!

Holiday Spirit in 2nd Grade

December with elementary children is truly a magical time.  A highlight of each day is writing letters while listening to Christmas music at writing time (another post to come on this).  The Christmas concert at the beginning of the month was wonderful! Everyone did a fantastic job! We've enjoyed a few holiday art projects to hang around our room.   We've also been preparing and practicing for our Authors' Celebration planned for Friday, December 23rd.

Fall Trees in the Sunrise

The students did a beautiful job on this fall tree silhouette art project.  Tissue paper was used to make the colorful sunrise background.  The students tore the tree out of black paper.  Check them out displayed in our hallway!

 

What Turns You into a Crankenstein?

A few weeks ago we read "Crankenstein" by Samantha Berger.  In this story the main character details everything that turns him into a Crankenstein!  It is quite a funny list!  We brainstormed what makes us cranky.   We made a class book and also some fun Crankensteins to share with those walking by 2nd grade!
