Memorial Day

On Friday the second graders led the Memorial Day Assembly. They all did a wonderful job singing patriotic songs and reciting poems about Memorial Day. Mrs. Kennedy's Second Grade Super Stars recited Memorial Day Parade. Thank you for practicing this poem at home with your child. Below are a couple of short videos of their performance. I am very proud of the students in 2K!

Gardening in the Courtyardd

What a beautiful day we had for gardening today. Mrs. Kennedy's Second Grade Super Stars helped plant some of the vegetables for the garden in the courtyard. With the help of some wonderful volunteers, they planted some lettuce plants and onion seeds. The second graders learned how to dig a hole in the soil, put the plant in the ground, pat the soil down around the plant, and then of course water the plants. This was some great hands-on science learning today. We can't wait to watch the garden grow and hopefully we will get to sample of some of the organic vegetables.

Happy Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day to all the wonderful Moms of Mrs. Kennedy's Second Grade Super Stars. I hope you are all pampered and spoiled today. Here is a special Mother's Day message from your sons and daughters.

Virtual Field Trip to Washington DC

Mrs. Kennedy's Second Grade Super Stars traveled  virtually to Washington DC, our country's capitol. This trip was even more exciting because we were one of the classes chosen  to be live on the camera along with another class from Texas. We prepared for this field trip by researching facts and questions to share with the host Brandon Hall. We visited and learned about some of the famous monuments in Washington DC. We ended the session with a fun Kahoot with  other classes from around the country to test our knowledge.
