The Goat in the Rug

This week we read a story called The Goat in the Rug.  It was about a Native American girl who used the wool from her goat to weave a rug.  Today we did some weaving of our own! 

Crazy Sock Day!

Today we continued to celebrate Dr. Seuss' birthday and Read Across America by wearing crazy socks.  Here are the crazy socks that were in our 2nd grade classroom.  Don't forget that tomorrow is hat day.  Students may wear their favorite hat to school!

Rocks, Soils, and Fossils

In Science we just finished our chapter on rocks, soils, and fossils.  Today the 2nd graders made imprints of shells to finish up the chapter.

Rock Activity

Today we started our rock project.  Each students was asked to bring in a rock from home.   We looked at their different qualities.  They then had to draw and color pictures of their rocks. 

Read Across America

Did you know that Dr. Seuss was not really a doctor?  Or that a man gave Dr. Seuss a list of words that were easy to read and told him to write a book only using those words?  From that list came the book The Cat in the Hat.  Today McLouth Elementary took some time to celebrate Read Across America Day and Dr. Seuss' Birthday.  The Cat in the Hat brought each classroom green eggs and ham.
