Publishing Party!

On Thursday we held our Publishing Party! The second graders did an amazing job both singing and presenting their stories to families. I’d like to give a huge THANK YOU to all the family members who came and made our event such a success. We are real published authors now!

Final Publishing Party Preparations

The snow day on Tuesday kicked us into overdrive to put the final touches on our small moment stories! We finished illustrating and practiced reading aloud on Wednesday.

Counting Beans

Today we began our second math unit by counting beans. Mrs. Fischer had a sandwich sized baggies of little white beans and we estimated how many were inside. Our estimates ranged from 70 to 7,000! Then we collaboratively organized the individual beans into cups of ten and leftover ones. Finally, we worked together to turn our tens into hundreds, and eventually thousands! We counted 1,444 beans! Unbelievable!

Fun Run 2019!!

Today was the perfect day for Orchard’s third annual Fun Run! The second graders cheered on their friends, ran two laps, and had a day!
