Happy Summer!

It has been a pleasure to teach and learn from your children everyday. I feel privileged to have had such a wonderful group of students this year. As a class, we talk all the time about how we have morphed throughout the year into a family, or community of learners. I believe it is so important that students feel comfortable participating, sharing, and opening up in the classroom. This group has not only been able to do that, but also helped to guide each other on their journey together through second grade. They are such creative and inspiring learners. Have a wonderful summer vacation!

Field Day Fun!

We had a great day for Field Day! 

Thank you to all parents who volunteered their time to come out and play with us. We spent 200 minutes playing games under the sun. Students worked together to play fairly and had great sportsmanship. I was so impressed by their kindness throughout the day. Here are some pictures! Enjoy!

Gloucester Maritime Museum Field Trip

We had an incredible day at our field trip to the Gloucester Maritime Museum today! We examined touch tanks, learned about categorizing and identifying whales, saw a massive whale skeleton, created a fish art print, and zoomed in on phytoplankton using microscopes! Thank you again to our awesome parent chaperones who helped to make it a great day! Ask your child what their favorite part of the trip was and check out the pictures below!
