Two Made Us a Little Blue...(We are going to miss second grade!)

EJ and his sister EJ brought their loyal dog Nigel by for a visit this morning.
Guess what arrived today?
Yearbooks! We enjoyed looking through them. (If you did not pre-order, they may be a few available in the office.)
GR's dad and loyal brother, BR, dropped by with lunch. (And cafeteria lunch was chicken with bones! Hooray! Not fingers, not tenders: bones. This week is Manager's Choice, so every few students get a different meal. Guess we were just the lucky ones. Except they were out of gravy for the potatoes. Maybe the gravy will appear tomorrow with the mac and cheese.)
We wrote nominations for "Person of the Year". The students had to illustrate a mock cover of Time magazine and then write a persuasive paragraph giving reasons why their choice should be chosen. The winner?
CB nominated aide, CL, and his persuasive piece won! His reasons were:

• She donated money and clothes to Belize.
• She is a special ed teacher.
• She hardly ever looses her temper.

Great job, CB! Majority agreeded that CL was most deserving of this award.
For math we worked with probability. We tossed a coin 100 times to see which comes up more often: heads or tails.

We rolled dice to see which side came up more often: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6.

Today was Memorial Day, so it was a revolving cast of characters in the classroom. We had as many as 12 students and as few as 7 at different times during the day. This was supposed to be a holiday, but we had that snow day on February 4. We kept thinking how fun that time by the fires was in February, and that helped. ...A little. :)

Two more days to go. No more homework, but please remember to send the agenda every day. Today I am sending home yearbooks and Summer Reading Club forms.
