2nd week...here we come!

We started the week off just great! This week we will be doing a lot of exciting, new things in 2nd grade. We started sketching with Mrs. Shipman in art and we had bus safety. This week we will be making time capsules and our pencil cans. Remember...tomorrow is school picture day!!!!

I want to make a shout out to our principal, our superintendent and our school board who approved us getting new tables. Our classroom is brighter and cleaner with these new additions to our classroom.

This month's core value is citizenship. We think "School Rules" at SES. You can see our poster after tomorrow at Spooner Outlet, or click the link to see a photo of it: https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B4B6qqBRN5ifdGJ1WjhtcmxEZG8
