We saw a lot of red and green today as we geared up for our final event this week, the FUN RUN.  Thanks to everyone who participated, whether it was dressing up each day, wearing the ribbons or making healthy and safe choices.  It was a fun-filled week!  Thank you PTA!

 

Black and Sunglasses

Submitted by angie.keisel on

“Pull the Shades and Black-Out Cyber Bullying” was today’s theme.  Students dressed in black and wore their sunglasses to promote internet safety today.  We also had an assembly on how to be safe while on the internet.  Tomorrow is the fun run.  Be sure to wear running shoes and red and green.

Today was “Sock it to Drugs and Put a lid on it” with hats and crazy socks.  So fun!  Don’t forget to sign and return the bright orange fun run permission paper that was sent home for Friday’s running event.  Remind your child to wear black and sunglasses tomorrow.

Matter Floats

Submitted by angie.keisel on

Students in Mrs. Keisel’s and Ms. Dekker’s second grade class have been learning about matter.  We’ve talked about how matter is a solid, liquid, or a gas.  There are many ways matter can change.  A solid can change its shape by folding, biting, squishing, crumpling, etc.   Liquids can change their shape if being poured.

Here are some student responses to what they know matter is:

“Matter is…a solid, a liquid, a gas.”

“Matter is…something you see and feel and smell and taste.”

“Matter is…right here.”  (pointing to a friend)
