Gods and Goddesses
Thank you, thank you, thank you to all the parents who helped rehearse, dress, and watch their children prepare for our fantastic Greek play! Animated yet prepared, the kids filled the performance with personality and heart. We are eager to see 2A's rendition tomorrow!

The Excitement is Starting! All the second graders enjoyed a cookout and a square dance to Aaron Copland's, "Hoedown." This is always a most enjoyable way to end our unit on Westward Expansion. Below math students played Time Bingo telling time to the quarter hour and in five minute increments. It's going to be one busy yet memorable week AND year!

Final Weekly Highlights 6/1/12 Mrs. Barulich
Dear Parents,
Next week we will end with Highlights for the Year. It was approximately nine months ago that I told my students that the school year will fly by and that before they know it, it will be the final week of second grade. Well, here we are and what a year it's been. Thank-you for your support all year long and with the great costumes that the students arrived in for the State Rap on Thursday. This Wednesday, right after assembly, 2A will perform, The Gods and Goddesses of Room Seven. We hope to see you and as one of my former fathers said, "Wow, second grade really goes out with a bang". Enjoy the weekend and this sunshine.
