Every senior at ACS is paired up with a second grader. Throughout the year we will do projects with our senior buddies. Just think.. in 10 years your child will be a senior!!

Our Tree Poem by 2M

Last week, we skyped with a 2nd grade class in Dubai. We both read the book "Nana in the City" before our Skype call. Then we asked and answered questions about the book. A huge thanks to Mrs. Kahook for arranging such a fun technology activity related to literature. It was an amazing learning experience for all! 

Dear parents, thank you for making our writing celebration so special today! I hope you enjoyed listening to your child's story. What great authors they are!

Spotlight on RETELLING: Being able to retell a story is very important in 2nd grade. It shows that we understand what we read and that we are able to remember key elements of the story. Here is a nice anchor chart to help us retell. Try using it at home! 

 We had Reader's Workshop in the Learning Commons today!

We have three very important classroom rules: 

1) Be Safe and Kind 

2) Take Care of Yourself

3) Take Care of Our Room and School 

On Septemeber 21st, we celebrated International Peace Day  

Our day ended with a flower Mandela peace creation sending our message out to the world.  Mrs. Jenkins led this lovely event.  In closing, the children were encouraged bring home a flower filled with their message of peace to help spread this throughout our world.
