Month: April 2017
Good Bye Mrs. Ringler
Thursday was Mrs. Ringler’s last day student teaching in our classroom. We had a surprise farewell party for her. We gave her some books for her future classroom and a scrapbook filled with pictures of her time with us. We will miss her and we wish her luck as she begins her job search and begins her teaching career.
April Star Party
Today we had a slime party to celebrate good behavior for the month. Each day our Students are Taking Academic Responsibility by making good choices at school. They start the day with 4 stars and try to keep them all day or even earn an extra star for excellent behavior. Teachers kept track of student scores all month and averaged them to see who was invited to celebrate good behavior at our S.T.A.R. Party. Any student that averaged 3 stars or higher was able to make slime. Students who averaged 4 stars or higher were “Rock Stars” and were able to add fluorescent paint or food coloring to their slime. This month all students in our class were Stars or Rock Stars! Yipee! The kids had tons of fun making the slime and playing with it. Here’s the recipe in case you’d like to have some more slime fun at home!
- Squeeze 1 bottle of school glue (4 oz) into a plastic cup.
- Add paint or food coloring to dye it and stir.
- Add about 1 Tablespoon of Sta-Flo liquid starch and stir. Some students needed a bit more.
- If the slime is too sticky add a sprinkle of baking soda.
Our Concert- an opinion piece by Mrs. Muhr’s Language Arts class
You should come to the second grade concert on April 24th. It will be fun to watch. The last song is the best! There are refreshments afterwards. Many students are playing instruments. The classes do rhythms and hand motions that you will want to see. You should come to the second grade concert tonight.
