February Fun

This past week was filled with lots of fun and learning. On Tuesday we celebrated Valentine's Day with a fun party thanks to our wonderful moms. Everyone enjoyed making a fun craft, playing Heart Bingo, and reading valentines. We also had a valentine mystery skype with another second grade class in Illinois. We spread some valentine kindness by sharing our virtual valentine globally.

On Wednesday we celebrated World Read Aloud Day by skyping with author Molly Burnham. The students had a chance to ask Ms. Burnham questions about being an author. Some of the questions were, "How long does it take to write a book?", "How many books have you written?", "How do you make a book?", "How do you get your ideas?" Some students still have some questions so they can add them to the Google Doc in Google Classroom and then we will email them to Ms. Burhnam. Lots of us are excited to read one of her Teddy Mars stories. On Thursday we continued our World Read Aloud celebration by having a reading virtual read aloud with a class in Texas. We read The Mitten by Jan Brett and the other class read The Paper Crane to us.
