Science

We have been learning about plants. We have learned the parts of a plant--roots, stem, leaves, flower, and seed. We talked about how seeds can move. Animals can help the seeds move. When it rains, it gives the soil water. The leaves help the water get into the flower and other parts. Flowers can be different colors. Mrs. Garrett's class comes over for science and sometimes we go to her room. Yesterday we went on a leaf walk. We are making a leaf rubbing.

We're off to a great start this year.  We have 21 students in our class.  We have been busy practicing our math facts, reading, and making new friends.  Please check our blog often.  We'll try to blog once a week.  See you then.

November

We are starting our second quarter of school. We are busy practicing our math facts, studying spelling words, and getting ready for the Iowa Assessment tests. They will be the week of November 7th. Don't forget to do your best, get to bed a little early, and have breakfast. Have a good week.

Friday

It's Friday and it has been a busy week for our second graders. On Wednesday we participated in the Fall Fitness Day at the track. Students chose to walk, jog, or run around the track. Washington Elementary logged in over 914 miles from 10:00 to 12:00. Our class logged in over 30 miles. Keep up the good work.

Science

We have been busy plants and their parts. We have talked about their roots, stem, leaves, flowers, and seeds. Today we made leaf prints. We also compared leaves that we brought in on Thursday. We predicted what had happened to them.

Mrs. R's Class

We have been busy at school. We have been reading several books. In science we are watching what celery will do without water. We predicted that it will go limp. Tomorrow we will add water to see if anything changes. We are also practicing our Partner Math. Some students are already on level G!! Keep practicing those math facts.
