Today we got our hornworms!  We are going to be researching and observing hornworms for our next informational writing topic. We are very excited to get our own "pets."

Today we also took the STAR reading and STAR math tests.  This information will be included on the monthly assessment sheet that goes home at the end of January.

 During reading groups, Mrs. Smith has been doing district reading assessments with each child!

This week we also got to have Sharon Ray from ABC17 come speak to us about weather.  The students have all voted on what kind of service learning project they would like to do, and majority of 2nd graders said they would like to help victims of Hurricane Matthew.  We have been learning about hurricanes (and weather in general) when we have free time.  More information about our actual project will come later in the year :)

Have a good 4 day weekend!
