Toy Boats

2009-04-16T14:05:00.001-07:00

The 49ers spent some time in April being engineers. We had to plan, build and test toy boats. Our goal was to build a boat that would travel across a table in a straight line--using wind power. We made many changes and improvements to our boats after each test.

The 49ers earned a TOY PARTY for good behavior back in February. Everyone got to bring in a toy of their choice.

Currently, the 49ers are working hard to earn a "Maywood Idol Party"!!!

Daunte brought in some cool news last week. He shared a story about his boxcar derby race. He explained how he built his car and the science behind building an aerodynamic car. He brought in his car and trophy to share with everyone. Congratulations on winning the trophy Daunte!

Standing Long Jumps and Arm Spans

2009-02-11T12:25:00.000-08:00

The 49ers practiced their math skills by measuring standing long jump and arm span distances. Then, we sorted our class data and found the median, mode and mean. The median jump for our class was 124 centimeters. The median arm span was 49 inches. Oooh, 49 is a sparkly number!

HOT CHOCOLATE TIME!

2009-01-09T13:54:00.001-08:00

After sledding, we all came back inside for a delicious cup of hot chocolate...with MARSHMALLOWS! The 49ers should be proud of themselves for their above-the-line behavior!

SLEDDING PARTY!

2009-01-09T13:50:00.000-08:00

The 49ers finally got to have their Sledding Party for good behavior. We had to wait for Mother Nature to provide us with some snow. The ice below the snow made the hill super fast and super fun. Mr. Fiedler had a blast bombing down the hill with all of the kids. The 49ers are now working towards a TOY PARTY!

YUM! VEGEMITE!

2009-01-09T13:47:00.001-08:00

Thanks to Peter and Madeleine, we all had the chance to take a big whiff of Vegemite--a favorite source of B Vitamins for many Australians. 2 out of 18 kids in the class were fond of the smell. I'm sure if they tried it, they might learn to like it!

Australian Currency

2009-01-09T13:44:00.001-08:00

Peter and Madeleine brought in some Australian currency for us to see. Australian money is much more colorful than American money. They don't use pennies either!

Australian Visitors

2009-01-09T13:39:00.000-08:00

This week, Brady's Australian cousins, Peter and Madeleine, came to our class to teach us about their country. They gave an outstanding presentation! They worked hard to create a poster and other visuals that helped them with their presentation. They talked a lot about the similarities and differences between Australia and the United States. The 49ers were a great audience for our guest speakers...and they learned "heaps" of information!

OPEN GYM PARTY

2008-12-01T12:24:00.001-08:00

The 49ers earned their third Star Party for above-the-line behavior. They earned an OPEN GYM PARTY by receiving 49 stars! Kids were able to take out any P.E. equipment that they wanted. Some kids played football or basketball. Other kids used the hula hoops, stilts, pogo sticks and jumpropes. Mr. Fiedler and Miss W were able to join in on the fun too! Hats of to the 49ers for having outstanding behavior!

The Seven Continents

2008-11-13T11:28:00.001-08:00

The other Readers' Theater play was titled "The Seven Continents". This group was responsible for teaching the rest of the class about the seven continents on earth. This was a great connection what we have been learning about during social studies! Way to go!

Too Much Noise!

2008-11-13T11:22:00.000-08:00

Last week, the 49ers practiced and performed another round of exciting Readers' Theater plays. One play was titled "Too Much Noise!" This play was about a father who was frustrated with all of the noise in his house. He went to the Rebbe for some help!

INSIDE OUT AND BACKWARDS DAY

2008-10-08T07:10:00.000-07:00

WACKY WEDNESDAY! This month we celebrated "Inside Out and Backwards Day". We wore our clothes inside out and backwards. We had a fun Wacky Wednesday Celebration in the gym. We did many backwards activities too. We learned about palindromes, counted backwards, wrote backwards and read backwards stories.

HOMECOMING PARADE

2008-10-03T13:21:00.000-07:00

This week we had some visitors from Monona Grove High School. Some famous athletes, band members and other students held a homecoming parade for us in the hallway. It was great for us to get to see these great role models. It was great for the high school students to see the smiles on the kids' faces too! Go MG!

CURTIS PRAIRIE

2008-10-02T08:12:00.001-07:00

Last week we took a field trip to Curtis Prairie. Before the trip, we talked about the things that we thought we would see at a prairie. The 49ers had a lot of great ideas. Some kids remembered their trip to Aldo Leopold in 1st grade. Aldo Leopold has a prairie area too. Our tour guides showed us around the prairie and taught us a lot about the plants and animals that live there. We got to see, touch, hear and smell all sorts of neat things. Did you know that Curtis Prairie is the oldest restored prairie in the world?!?! Cool! When we got back to school, we shared many of the interesting things that we learned on our trip.

OFFICIAL MAYWOOD MAIL CARRIERS

All 2nd graders were sworn in by Mrs. Lyons to be Official Maywood Mail Carriers. The 49ers have been delivering the school mail all week. They learned to collect, stamp, sort and deliver mail. They take a lot of pride in their work!

PJ PARTY

2008-10-01T19:35:00.001-07:00

The 49ers earned their first STAR PARTY for above the line behavior! The students voted to have a pajama party. It was really fun to be able to wear our PJ's to school. We had some time to kick back and relax! Way to go 49ers!

Clean and Organized

2008-09-17T12:34:00.001-07:00

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

2008-09-17T12:31:00.001-07:00
