MBS Fly Up Day!

We had an amazing visit to MBS today!!  Everyone met their new teacher as well as some new classmates from Porter's Point School.  Each student has a friend from our class in their new class, which relieved a lot of anxiety!  Right before we came back to UMS, all the second graders met in the gymnasium and did the "Paper Shake" dance with Mr. Hunt.  We had a great time and everyone is very excited for third grade!  Here is a picture of us just before we boarded our bus!

In your child's home/school folder today is a letter with their new teachers name!

Happy "almost" third graders!!

Honey Bees

Yesterday, we had our last Four Winds opportunity of the year.  Many parent volunteers worked together to put on a puppet show, and presented three different activites all about honey bees!  The play was wonderful but I forgot to bring my camera. 

:ater in the afternoon, the parents came to our classroom to present three different activities. The first activity was examining a deceased honey bee up close with a magnifying glass.  It so was interesting, I forgot to take pictures again!! Shame on me!!

The second activity was dressing me up like a honey bee with all of the important "bee parts".  The class had A LOT of fun with this activity!

In the last activity, the students pretended to do the "honey bee shake" to tell their honey bee friends where the pollen was. They had to find piles of pom-poms and hide one in their hand.. After they did their dance, their group had to figure out what color pollen theywere hiding.

It was a great day and everyone was amazing! Thank you so much Four Winds!!
