Happenings in Second Grade

  The girls have been busy once again! We have recently come together as a whole class to celebrate the end of our Native American unit. Like the Native Americans, we had a party or a POTLATCH to celebrate and exchange gifts.  Each homeroom made something special to pass onto a girl in a different homeroom.  Ms. Emala's class made kachina dolls, Ms. Orlando's class made totem poles, and Mrs. Roesselor's class knit beautiful headpieces. The Potlatch was a success and the girls enjoyed surprising one another with their different crafts. Here are some pictures of the celebration.

 We also came together as a class to make Pilgrim dolls, like the ones we read about in Molly's Pilgrim. The whole second grade read the story about Molly and the wonderful Pilgrim doll she made at school.  The girls loved this activity and added amazing detail to their creations.

   The second grade girls also put on a fabulous parachute assembly last week.  They worked very hard to learn their respective routines and did a fantastic job in front of parents, teachers, and the rest of the Lower School. Well done, girls!

 And last but certainly not least the girls enjoyed a great day with their grandparents and special friends. We hope that everyone had a wonderful break and a Happy Thanksgiving!
