Category: Second Grade

The beginning of November was teddy bear time in second grade. Each student brought a teddy bear to class.

The children read many Berenstain Bear books, interviewed their bear and wrote stories about them, and did teddy bear math using scales and measuring them in centimeters.

Unfortunately, we did have some problems. The bears put teddy bear stamps all over their work, hid from them, and even messed up Mr. Metzger’s office! But, most of the time we loved having the bears spend time with us. We ended their two week visit with a pancake breakfast to celebrate our special bears.

Owl pellet dissection was a big hit in second grade. Thank you Sarah Shaffer, founder of Sarah’s Science, for doing this fun science activity with our students!

Last week the second graders invited their parents to come and hear presentations of their mammal reports.

They spoke in front of the audience using note cards to tell information about their mammal.

They then performed a poem called Dogs and Cats and Bears and Bats. Their parents were then invited to try and put their mammal puzzles together which they had created and finally listen to them read their Monster stories. It was a fun morning in second grade.
