Second Graders Playing Math Games on the Ipad

Starting this week, our class has signed up to use to IPads in our classroom each Thursday. The students are excited about the new learning tool. On the school IPads, the school has downloaded familiar Everyday Math games that the kids have learned in the classroom using playing cards. Some of our favorite math games include Name That Number and Addtion Top-it! Our class can't wait to use the IPads again soon!

Mr. and Mrs. Bernard (Alex's grandparents) bring a special friend for Mystery Reader on Friday

We love when Mr. and Mrs. Bernard come in to read to our class! This time they brought in a puppet that looked just like Albert Einstein!! This puppet read How much is Million? by David M. Schwartz. Mr. and Mrs. Bernard also brought in Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day. The kids fully enjoyed the stories and there were many laughs by all!
