COMMUNITY DAY

We had a great day celebrating and finishing off our Community Unit.  Each group of students wrote about  the day.

Charlie, Cyrus, Anna, Max, and Talia reported:

We started off by being broken into groups with the different classes.  Then we worked with boxtops to raise money for our school and other schools.

Jacob, Aislinn, Rehya, and Ben reported:

Then we went outside to play games.  Each teacher had a station.  Mrs. Black did the Human Knot.  Mrs. Penney played Keep the Balloons in the Air.  Mrs. Barren played Name Ball.  Mrs. Downing played Sharks and Minnows and Rockstar.

Andrew, Mallory, Autumn, Russell, and Kennedy reported:

Mr. V then came and taught us a song called You've Got a Friend.  The whole second grade sang.  We got the lyrics on a paper.  The girls sang first and then the boys sang.

Jake, Naimah, and Peter reported:

It was a very exciting, awesome, thrilling, fun day!
