Memories
 We will be celebrating the friendships we have made this year through various activities throughout the week. On Thursday, we will celebrate the end of the “season.” As a part of that we will be having a read-a-thon. The students may bring a pillow, a favorite stuffed animal, and a good book to read. We will also have a special lunch together. There will also be a spelldown next week. The date for that is to be determined. Finally, we are in the process of creating memory books for each child to keep. The students will have a chance to share special memories that they have with each other.
Here are a few memories from second grade that the students have already come up with:

Jordyn remembers when the pre-k class came to our classroom and we helped them draw a bucket.

Brando remembers when the Cultural Fair started. It was so much fun when everyone started coming. That was fun, big time.

Olivia remembers when she was MVP. She felt happy. MVP was really nice and the family and friends worked so hard, and it made her so happy.

McKinley remembers when she won second place for the second time in a ceramic competition. The piece she made was called “Hope of the Phoenix.” The judges liked it because it was so big. Miss Gurnee inspired her to keep trying because she messed up on it a lot.

Julia remembers when it was her first time going on the high dive. It was VERY FUN because it was high.

Bailey remembers the Cultural Fair!!! It was so fun. She loved having to make the podcast, too. It rocked!

Luke remembers when we first met and got to know each other, and we went so far with learning.

Abby remembers when Mrs. Tomlin asked her and a couple other people to make a poster for the mother bird and her babies. We all found lots of craft stuff and made a nest with a gumball in the middle, too. We glued it all on a poster board and drew on the poster. It was super fun!!!
