Snowshoeing Fun!

It was a glorious day to snowshoe!

After we got use to moving we played a predator/prey game.

Some of us were foxes, some were mice or voles traveling around a pre-made track.

 We ended the day with hot cocoa back in the classroom. We used this afternoon as our reward for winning the Winter Box Top challenge.

Jenn arranged for the purchase of the snowshoes and skis through 

 West Fairlee's Sheldon-Miller fund.

We Loved "We love to Read" week!

PJ and stuffy day was our highlight of the week!

We participated in a Dr. Seuss Scavenger hunt by finding elements of his style; funny rhymes, made up words and silly characters.

Students also enjoyed ten minutes of Rock and Read!

We ended the week with an opportunity to shop for new books!

A Reader's lunch celebration was held for the nine students who participated in the Winter Vacation Reading Challenge.

Money, Telling Time & Typing Challenge

Taking the typing challenge by not looking at the keys isn't that easy!

 Clock Concentration: The object of the game is to match an
analog clock face card with the digital time card.

Coin Top It:  Player with the highest value of coins gets both cards.

Telling time and finding the values of coins are important skill we work on in second grade. Using the ST math link on this blog is one way kids can practice at home and the Dance Mat Typing link is what we use in class.

We honor Dr. Seuss with I Love to Read week.  We are looking forward to celebrating the joy of reading! The Seussville link has stories and activities for kids to enjoy.
