A horseshoe crab!
Sea Life & Habitats Week got off to a great start with a visit from Ms. Kim who brought in a real, live horseshoe crab! The kids all got to ask questions and even touch and hold some of the creatures. A sea star and various kinds of sea sponges were also there to see. Don't forget to peek into our photo gallery for a ton of photos of this awesome experience!
By now we're sure everyone has seen our completed Sea Life Mural, as it takes up the entire front wall of our classroom! Most of the activities during this week centered around the creation of various fish and sea life to include as part of this giant piece of work. Jellyfish, crabs, sea stars, and more can be found swimming in our fabric sea (which we tie-dyed ourselves!).
All in all, we had a great week!

In other news, Family Night on Tuesday 10.13 was a great success. The second grade class would like to send a huge thank you to all the families that were able to join us for food and fun! If you couldn't make it, much of the info you missed was in last month's newsletter and in recent blog posts, but--as always--feel free to email us if there was anything specific you feel you might have missed.
