Clean and Organized




In 2nd grade, we work very hard to keep our desks and materials very clean and organized. Today, we spent a few minutes tidying our desks. On Friday, we'll go through our work to decide what can go home.


Feeding Johnny Mantis III




Today we fed Johnny Mantis III a monster cricket that was caught roaming the halls of Maywood. We're amazed by how quickly Johnny can catch its prey!

WACKY WEDNESDAY

SHARING NEWS


Corbin shared this really cool bottlecap snake that he made at home. He read about this "Funky Junk Art" in a magazine. He brought in this magazine and read the directions to the class for his News. Great idea Corbin!

SHARING NEWS


Every 49er gets one day a week to share some important news that is going on in the world. Sometimes we bring in newspaper articles to share. Maya summarized this neat article about alpacas. Their fleece makes great yarn for making clothes!

Welcome to the Room 49 Blog


Stop by our blog from time to time to view pictures and find out about some of the fun things that we are doing in Room 49. Students will take part in creating their own blogs. They will learn how to type in text and add picture files.

Please post comments on our blog whenever you can. We love to see what others have to say about what we're doing in school!

We're currently under construction as we begin the new school year, but come back soon for an update!
