Second graders learned about government, taxes, Congress, the Supreme Court, symbols, and monuments of the United States. The vocabulary and concepts are difficult but they are beginning to understand the checks and balances of our system of government. They continued to work on word problems focusing on two step problems. Students enjoyed Ronald Morgan and thinking and writing about team work. They truly enjoyed reading the poem Spaceball.
Parent volunteers prepared an autumn craft. The students enjoyed making it after music on Thursday. The parents provided all the materials and had everything prepared and ready to go. We all enjoyed the craft. We discovered that the amount of air in the bag determined how the leaves fell off the trees.
Students discovered that they could stand their craft on their desks.

Table 25, they named themselves after I kept mixing up Table 1 and 3, sharing their work.
Thanks so much to our parent volunteers!
