St. Patricks Day

Second grade is a fun place to be! We love to find hands on activities that correlate with our NC curriculum. We began our St. Patrick's Day math by creating a math "glyph". Using specific directions, we artistically created our individual shamrocks and then used our math skills to sort these creations by various attributes. Team work really works as we try to come up with ways we can group our creations! We invite you to stop by our classroom to view our finished products!

Skype in Room 309

We are learning about our seven continents in Social Studies. A mother of one of our teachers is a missionary in India. Mrs. Hurst joined our class to help us "Skype" her mom so that we could learn more about the country, the people, and how she is helping young people learn about the English language.

Doctor Visits

 More Than Meets The Eye
Mrs. Lyerly's daughter, an optometry student, visited the classroom to talk about eyes. The children enjoyed the activities and asked lots of questions. It was amazing to see how much they already knew about how eyes work. Perhaps there will be some budding optometrists in our group!

Our Digestive System

 Gaby's mom, a doctor at the Winston-Salem VA Outpatient Clinic, visited our classroom to talk with us about our digestive systems. The children certainly enjoyed her colorful analogies, which helped us have a better understanding!
