…and they are off to 3rd grade!

3rdgraders

Well, the end of the year has arrived. We had a great 181 days together, reading, learning new math skills, studying science and social studies, and having fun together. You will always hold a special place in my heart. Enjoy your summer, and be sure to post on our summer stories and books pages. I’ll see you next year when you return as third graders!

Much love,
Mrs. Leisure

Summer Pages

Yes, the year is ending, but you can still share your stories with your classmates and friends!

On the pages list you will find two new pages, “Summer Stories” and “What are you reading?” Use these pages to share your thoughts this summer.

On “Summer Stories” you can let us know what you have been doing, as well as any interesting things you learn over the summer. The “What are you reading?” page is a place for us to share informations about books you read over the summer. You just might inspire someone else to read the same great book. Use the comment block to add your entries. I can’t wait to read them!

More fun with animals!

We had a great time today using our animal puppets. Today we read more folktales, just like in our anthology, but this time they starred our animal puppets! Groups read the stories, selected animals, and made props. Then they presented the stories to the class using the puppet theater. We had a great time learning about folktales that tied in with our animal unit. We had a blast!

Summer Fun Reading from Lancaster Newspapers

Here is some information on a summer fun reading program from Lancaster Newspapers:

During June and July, we encourage children ages 4-12 to take the HERSHEYPARK Summer Fun Reading Challenge. Reading activities (related to Language Arts, Science, Social Studies, and Math) will appear in the
Intell Journal and New Era each Tuesday and Thursday, June 9 through June 25 and in the combined Intell Journal/New Era from June 27 to July 9.
Guidelines appear with each day’s activities. Children can enjoy finishing as many activities
as they like but must be sure to complete at least 10 activities, with no more than 2 from a
single day. One original entry form (no photocopies) must accompany each child’s entries.
Original entry forms can be found in the newspaper along with the summer reading
activities.
Children must mail ten completed activities, along with one entry form to: SFRC, PO Box
1328, Lancaster, PA 17608-1328. Activities may also be dropped off at our downtown offices
at 8 West King Street. All entries must be received no later than 5 PM on July 17.
Each child with ten completed activities and one original entry form will be mailed one
FREE admission and one parking pass to HERSHEYPARK, good upon receipt for the remain-
der of the 2009 season, except Saturdays in August.

Habitat Who Am I Activity

Today we had fun learning about animal habitats. We each learned about an animal and wrote a “Who am I” paragraph about the animal. We placed the animal on the habitat mat where you could find it in real life. Then we read our paragraphs aloud and our classmates used the clues to discover the animal. We had a blast!

We extend our gratitude to the Penn Manor Education Foundation for the grant money to expand our puppet collection for this activity. We loved it and learned a lot!

Yearbooks!

Mrs. Blazer came by this morning before school and dropped off a stack of yearbooks for our class. They look amazing! Every student that pre-ordered a yearbook will bring it home today. If you did not order one for your child, but would like to purchase one now, there are some available in the office. The yearbooks cost $13. Checks should be made to Pequea PTO.

Thank you, Mrs. Blazer, for all of your hard work. The yearbooks are awesome!
