Second grade has been having so much fun this year! We have made fun fall crafts that we have hung around our classroom. We also love doing the whip it nae nae cardio workout on Fridays! This week the second grade started talking about songs we would like to dance to in the end of the year show. They had many different ideas. We are working on agreeing on one song for the class, which may take awhile. We also painted and created our own tambourines. We also did a fun science experiment where the kids had to use materials given to them to try to remove an object from a block of ice. They had fun working together and trying different ideas. This week's theme was giving back to Braintree. Second grade made holiday decorations to give to the police and fire station to thank them for all they do for us. Second grade has also had so much fun working out on the smart board to Gonoodle! Second grade has been having so much fun the past couple weeks!
