WHE 2nd Grade Field Trip

Our annual field trip to the Prairieland Heritage steam show was today. The rain held off and the whole class had a GREAT time!!! We wrapped up our fifth full week of school with this exciting tradition.

This week is also North Greene's Homecoming week. The district celebrated all week with blue and white in abundance around our districts schools. We made it home from the field trip just in time to see the Homecoming parade. This event is always a lot of fun with school spirit at its peak. The High School marching band, football team, cheerleaders, and floats travelled through town and culminated at our playground. Midterm reports went home this week and the students are doing a great job. We have had several writing assignments over the last few weeks. We have written about firefighters, made posters about Alice the Fairy, and wrote a personal introduction to our new Principal, Mrs. Sorensen. The class is doing a great job with writing and making strides every week.

We've been looking at our local history in a little more detail. We're planning an activity book filled with White Hall details and hope to instill community pride in our second grade class.

We look forward to finishing our first of six units in our reading series next week. It's great to see the progress each student is making. Our class has several procedures in place that make our day run very smoothly. The class voted to name ourselves the Cheetah's. We've been having a great time taking pride in our class identity.

With fall on our doorstep, we plan to dive into some exciting science lessons next week. We'll start discussing fall plants and try to grow some different varieties in our class greenhouse. We also look forward to the jumprope for heart drive that we have just started.
