Last week we picked our FAVORITE personal narratives out of our writing folder and PUBLISHED them! Then we shared our stories with friends in Mr. Poll’s 2nd grade class! After we shared our stories, we watched Mr. Poll, Ms. Genzink and Mrs. Greenlund act out a personal narrative written by Josiah. It was a FUN morning!
Thank you to Joshua’s family, Kaleb’s family and Anna’s family for the treats and drinks for our writing celebration! It was a perfect way to wrap up our first writing unit! THANK YOU parents!
Last Friday, Deputy Busse and his partner, Andy, came to school to teach our second graders about his job as a police officer and how him and Andy work together. This was a great way to culminate our Social Studies unit and see firsthand how our government helps keep our community safe. Next week Tuesday, our Hudsonville mayor will come to Georgetown and share with us about his job.
I love the woods. I love to take the children outside and look at the natural beauty we have in and around the pond area. Last Friday, we took a walk around the pond and noticed many interesting and gross things. Look at the picture of the pond sign. We have a white board to write on, when we take these walks. As we continue to make this “walk into the woods,” throughout the year… we will compare our lists. I wonder what we will see the next time…. we walk into the woods!
