Acorn Hunt

Our class teamed up with Mrs. Sevier's & Mrs. Neff's classes to collect acorns for the Living Lands and Water foundation. We will spend time this year focusing on environmental issues.

Some of the boys take time out to pose for a photo.





Mrs. Sevier & Mrs. Neff are collecting at our first stop of the field trip.

We took a little time out to play at the park during our last stop.

Welcome

Welcome to our classroom! I am looking forward to a great school year. Here are some 1st day pictures.

End of the year FUN

We had fantastic weather for our picnic at Friendship Park yesterday. Here are just a few pictures from our field trip.

Camp Conestoga

The second graders braved the threatening weather and headed to the Girl Scout Camp, Camp Conestoga. It was about a forty-five minute bumpy bus ride to the highly anticipated horse camp. The students were thrilled when we finally arrived. Our class played outside for awhile before heading on a hayrack ride. The hayrack took us on a couple of different trails before reaching the final destination, the horses! Many students were VERY reluctant to ride, but they faced their fears and hopped aboard. I hope you enjoy the following pictures.

Thank you to all my volunteers who helped lead the horses around the arena. You're the best!

I can only try to contain them.

Niabi Zoo Visit

Today a Niabi Zoo representative visited our school. She brought birds, reptiles and mammals. The kids were excited to see what was in all the covered cages. Bowlesburg students earned this assembly by earning B.O.B.s throughout the month of April. Our class earned enough B.O.B.s so we were able to hear the presentation today.

One of the first animals she shared was a bird. She talked to the kids about bird characteristics such as, they have feathers and they lay eggs. They loved looking at the two birds she brought. They got really excited by the next picture.

That's right! Nothings more exciting than bird droppings on the gym floor during an assembly.

The kids enjoyed the fox. She just snuggled up in the zookeepers arms. Students were also able to see a snake. Overall, the students had a great time seeing these animals close up.

Bake Sale

Today was the second grade bake sale. What a crazy morning! The second graders brought in LOTS of yummy food to sell. We had customers ready to buy at 8:35. The bake sale was completely sold out by 10:20. I think that is the fastest a bake sale has ever been sold out. All the kids had an opportunity to work at the sale and buy treats.
These yummy cupcakes didn't last very long at all.

Kolton is promoting the sale of some cookies. He's the money man at this table.

We had some 4th grade helpers help monitor the exchange of money.

Valentine's Day Party

Today was our Valentine's Day Party. The kids had fun playing games, opening cards and eating sweet treats. Hopefully they didn't eat too much sugar! I would like to thank everyone who joined us for the party and sent treats. The kids had a great time. Here are some pictures from the party.

During the party they tried to see how many candy hearts their group could stack. I think one table stacked about 20 hearts.
