After reading the books, Duck for President and President Squid, the Hoot Owl class held their own election. A voting booth in our classroom gave the children the experience of having a secret vote.
The children and their teachers voted whether the new president should have a dog or a cat for a pet. The vote was 10 votes for a cat and 6 votes for a dog. The Hoot Owls are obviously cat lovers!
Last Thursday, the Owlets and Hoot Owls had a pumpkin hunt and party to celebrate Halloween.
It was a lot of fun!
The Hoot Owls created a vibrantly colorful Gratitude Tree with their buddies, the fourth grade.
The students worked together to make beautiful fall leaves. They also wrote what they were grateful for during this Thanksgiving season. The tree is filled with so many wonderful expressions of gratitude. Here are just a few: gratitude for our Armed Forces, America, family, Saklan, friends, pets, and much more. Happy Thanksgiving, everyone.
The second graders have completed a month long project. First, they read many books from The Monster Series by Ellen Blance. This monster is lovable and kind. The next step was to choose a title for their own “monster” story and map out the characters, setting, plot, and ending. Then they wrote a rough copy, proofread and revised, recopied, illustrated the story, and finally designed a cover.
On Monday they read their stories to the Hoot Owls.
They will continue this tradition by reading their stories to some of the other classes at Saklan.
