The New Mrs. Gentry

I'm married! The wedding and honeymoon were more than I could even imagine! It was a perfect day and vacation at the beach in Mexico!

 Mr. & Mrs. Gentry

We Made It!

Congratulations! We made it another year. We had a great last day! We used shaving cream to practice cursive while cleaning our desks, we had a newspaper snow ball fight with the other 2nd grade classes, we ate lunch outside, started working on our memory books, and cleaned out our desks. I hope that everyone has a wonderful summer filled with lots of fun and memories. Don't forget to read every day! :) Here's to a wonderful 2nd grade class and an exciting summer to look forward to!

We had a fun field day last Friday! We played all kinds of games like: kickball, ring toss, dress up relay, 3 legged race, free throw contest, and water balloon toss. We also got to enjoy popsicles! Thanks to Mrs. Boehme and Mrs. Crews for organizing our fun day!

Humpty Dumpty had a great fall!

Ms. Jackson dropping her class' projects off the top of the bleachers.

The second grade classes had a great time doing the egg drop last Friday!

Our class had 13 students participate.

 We had 7 egg projects that stayed intact throughout the big drop. 

 Others were not so lucky. :(

There were some very creative ideas ranging from using bubble wrap, to Styrofoam, to marshmallows for padding!  I loved seeing everyone's project and getting to drop them off the bleachers! Thank you to all of the families that participated!

Extra! Extra! Read all about it!

We've been hard at work for the past week or so brainstorming questions, conducting an interview, changing that interview into a story, and finally typing up our story into a newpaper article! Here are just a couple samples of some of the students' hard work. They did a great job and had a fun time learning a little more about some of their classmates! I hope you enjoy reading their articles.

Career Day

We had a wonderful time last Friday on Career Day. We got to learn all about lots of different jobs! Thank you to all of the teachers who organized the event and all the guest speakers who volunteered their time to spend the morning with us!

We learned about Wind Turbines.

We learned about what the different colors of Firefighters' helmets meant.

We learned about special clothing that keeps people working with electricity safe.

We learned about how the Rescue Squad volunteers train and take care of their dogs.

We got to pet and play with the dogs!

-We also learned what a pharmacist does...unfortunately I didn't think to grab my camera in time for that one. Oops!-

Measuring Up!

 

Using feet and inches to see how far we can jump

 

Finding out how many unifix cubes long our shoes are

 

Using paperclips to measure the length of a notebook

 How far can you blow a cotton ball in one breath?

We have been having such a fun time learning all about estimating and measuring length!
