Dinosaur Mural and more....

We have been learning all about these fascinating creatures from long ago. For instance, we can tell you which dinosaurs were bipedal and which dinosaurs were quadrupedal. We can tell you the difference between a carnivore and an herbivore. We can also tell you what a sauropod is and what paleontologists study. Ask a second grader to educate you about these extinct animals!

We worked so hard on this mural, we are ver proud of it!

Flat Stanley is in the mail!!

There are many more books in the Flat Stanley series.
They are a lot of fun to read!!!



      We have read Flat Stanley by Jeff Brown, made our own "Stanley", collected addresses, and written letters to host families.  Yesterday we said, "goodbye" to Stanley as we walked him to the post office to be mailed.  The second graders have chosen host families for two of their own Flat Stanleys.  Stanley will be traveling to some exciting places in the United States this year!  We can't wait to get him back to see and hear about all the places he travels. We will keep track of his mileage and learn something about each place he visits!
