🐾💛 Learning About Friendship and Caring for Pets! 💛🐾 Ms. Thigpen and Ms. Melissa’s class had a fun-filled week learning how to be good friends and how to take care of their pets. We celebrated friendship with a special snack and created a Friendship Caterpillar together. It was such a joy to learn what it means to be a good friend! We also discovered that our pets are our friends and that they need food, water, and air to survive. The class enjoyed sharing stories about their favorite pets and discussing what being a good friend truly means. 😊🐶🐱 #ReadySetGrow

🌋📚 Erupting with Excitement in Mrs. Hallman’s 2nd Grade Class! 📚🌋 To kick off the story "My Mouth is a Volcano," Mrs. Hallman’s 2nd grade class conducted a fun experiment to see what happens when vinegar meets baking soda! The story is about a young boy who can’t wait his turn to speak and "erupts," talking out of turn. Mrs. Hallman explained that the "eruption" made by the baking soda and vinegar is like your thoughts building up inside you that you want to share, but we can’t let our thoughts "erupt" when the teacher or other students are talking. This book is a fantastic way to introduce the importance of waiting our turn to speak and setting classroom expectations. The experiment was a great way to engage students and will hopefully remind them to hold onto their rising thoughts until it’s their turn to speak, so they don’t erupt! 🌟🗣️ #ReadySetGrow
