Homecoming Week

 The first dress-up day was Career Day.  Here are the boys dressed up as their future professions.

The girls are all smiles in their career clothes!

Senior Citizen Day...need I say any more?!

Circus Day brought more clowns than usual to school!...along with a horse trainer and a ferocious lion.

Fantasy Day brought out a lot of personalities.

Spinning Wheel

Earlier in the year a reading group had read the book "A New Coat for Anna".  The book showed how a coat can be made from sheep's wool into yarn, which is then woven into cloth, and cut and sewn into a coat.  Marty Olsen, from Newell, has a spinning wheel and showed the kids how this process is done.    We love seeing first hand how things work.  Thanks to Marty for giving of her time and talent.

I 'Mustache" You a Question...

We were working on collecting data.  Each student decided on a question that they would like to do a survey on and collect data.  To make it fun, we took pictures of ourselves with mustaches and used the phrase "I 'mustache' you a question..."  Oh MY!  The giggles we had doing this project!  Here are a few of my favorite mustache photos.

Second Grade Rocks!

We were fortunate to have some real rock hounds come visit our school.  Jason and Erin Ballou came to second grade and taught us about the three main kinds of rocks.  We loved being able to see and touch some very unique rocks.  Thanks to the Ballous for sharing their collection with us!
