Curriculum News

This week we will continue to look at some folktales and fairytales.  At the beginning of the week we will focus our attention on the folktale Peter and the Wolf.  Students will continue to review the elements of a story while they look at how authors sometimes use things other than words or pictures to represent certain characters in stories.

During our Science time we will continue to focus on our home planet-Earth.  We will take a closer look at the water cycle and ways we can help protect our planet.  We will also focus a bit more on some of the resources that people use from our environment.  This will give students the opportunity to better understand the difference between natural resources and those that are man-made.

Upcoming Events

On Thursday, April 11^th our class will be visiting our local hospital in Lincoln.  This event is put on every year by some amazing volunteers who hope to give 2^nd grade students in Logan County a better understanding of how our local hospital operates.  This experience is also helpful in that it gives young children a chance to visit the hospital and hopefully leave with a more positive feeling about this very important part of our community.  Students always have an amazing time and should return with some fun stories to share!  Departure time and our return time is given below!
