Acts of Kindness

At the beginning of the month, we set out a challenge of doing 100 acts of kindness as a class before the end of the month. The class completed 100 acts of kindness last Friday! Thank you for the support at home and recognizing the kind acts - what a nice class!

Classroom Act of Kindness

As you know, this month, we are focusing on Acts of Kindness. On Friday, the students did a class "act of kindness" by making Valentine's Day cards for children down in a Children's Home in Juarez, Mexico. Tonight, I boxed up the cards, along with several new chapter books, in Spanish, for the children down at the home. Your children are kind, sweet, kids who wrote some thoughtful notes! Way to spread the kindness all over the world, 2nd graders!

Continent and Ocean Test on Thursday

We have been studying the names of the seven continents and four major oceans pf the world in class over the last week. The kids thought this video song was helpful in remembering the continents: Continent Song. I also found this interactive website to help them practice at home: Continent and Ocean Practice. Remember the test is on Thursday and students should be reviewing at home!
