A Little Fall

We will go to Library on Thursday this week since there is no school on Friday.
This morning I switched places and let AR be the teacher.
Here she is asking for volunteers to answer the math problems on our morning work.
This afternoon we made some fall pumpkins for our hallway bulletin board.
Even though we don't really like to do "tear art",
I was very impressed with how well everyone did!
Here is KC working on her pumpkin.
BB and CK worked together to make this pumpkin.
KS laying her pieces out before she glues them in place.
JC LOVED this project! He stayed in and made a few extra pumpkins during recess to give to his friends.
FA and KC worked well together on a flower art project that we are also working on.
We have a second grade class tradition here at McKay. I like to teach my students about giving to others and working for things you want. Each year we create art work that I then turn into cards. Through out the year these cards are on sale to the public and all proceeds go to our class and then we decide how to best spend the money. We'll let you know when the cards go on sale. They are going to be beautiful.

Here is an example of what we have so far. More to add later. Look at these faces. They are so proud of our goal to help others through our work. Priceless!
Priceless!
Here is what our hallway looks like now! Job well done second graders.
