    SCIENCE
I teach both second grades science.  Both classes will have science three times a week.  Each Monday a Bonus Question will be given.  The students have until Friday morning to hand in an answer.  The answer MUST be received before class that morning in order for it to count.  Answers can be found in encyclopedias, the internet, or in the news.  This is NOT mandatory.  Children who do not participate are not penalized.  Those who hand in correct answers will receive a prize.  Good luck!
The next mini unit we will learn about is CORAL REEFS!  The students will be learning about the different food groups, healthy eating, and how these foods affect their bodies. 

Stay tuned for a new Bonus Question each week!
 

BONUS QUESTION!  2-22-10   Good luck!  Answers must be written out by the students.  I will not accept printed out pages from the internet as an answer.  Due Friday! 

~  The bonus question is back!  What is the name of the largest coral reef in the world?  Where is it found?
 
 

Answer to last week's question: 
 

The Book Challenge has begun!  Sheets are available for the students to bring home.  Once they have finished a book they may fill out a form and return it for a sticker on the chart.  Our goal is to read 25 books this year!  There are incentives along the way.
  5 Books:  Bookmark
10 Books:  Pencil
15 Books:  No Homework Pass
20 Books:  5 Angel awards
25 Books:  No Uniform Day!

Good Luck!!!

CONGRATULATIONS, JOSH!  HE IS THE FIRST STUDENT TO REACH 25 BOOKS ON THE BOOK CHALLENGE CHART!  WE'RE PROUD OF YOU!
 
 
 

Right now we are reading Mrs. Piggle Wiggle by Betty MacDonald.
 
 
 
 
 

   I encourage everyone to read as much as possible.  Even reading a short story before bedtime can be a wonderful activity for siblings or parents.
 

I am always extremely grateful for donations of Kleenex, paper towels, cleaning products, straws, etc.  Thank you in advance!  :)
