2nd Graders are Wild About Apples!

We studied about apples this week! We learned all about Johnny Appleseed, apple trees, and how they change throughout the season. We learned the cycle an apple goes through from producer to consumer, and all the apple parts! We made homemade cinnamon applesauce and miniature apple pies!

Community Field Trip!

2nd grade had a great Community Field Trip! We so appreciate everyone who helped us learning about different places and jobs in our community.  
We learned what a State Trooper's car looks like and what he does. Thank you State Trooper Shives. 
 
We mailed letters to some of our teachers at PDS! We also got to go into the mailroom and see where the mail goes once inserted into a slot! 
 
 
The Cleveland Fire Department was so great! Thank you Mr. Jackson for telling us about the three types of fire trucks and for showing us what all each one does! 
 
Thank you Mr. Sledge for showing us around Planter's Bank!  The drive-thru window and the way a bank works was so interesting, and of course we all love our little happies and the popcorn!
 
Chik-Fil-A was definitely worth a little wait! Thank you DSU for accommodating so many kiddos and adults and for the yummy food and adorable little cows! EAT MORE CHICKEN! MOO MOO!! 🐄🐄🐄
 
The Planetarium at DSU is open again! It was absolutely spectacular and we are the first group of students to get to come since they reopened! We definitely recommend this to others!  It was a wonderful experience!

**Be sure to watch the papers in October for Planetarium Events open to the public!

We learned a lot about our community and had tons of fun. Thank you to the Moms and Dads who helped drive and take care of the kids!

2nd Grade is Full of Scientist

This week we studied different kinds of scientist, along with the scientific method. We also made scientist. Friday we did a milk and food coloring science experiment. The 2nd graders predicted what would happen, then they showed the outcome.  It was a lot of fun to be scientist!
