Second graders studied the works
of artist Georgia O'Keefe then created fabulous paintings.

JUMP UP DAY 2008
Jump Up Day is a thrilling time
when kindergarten through 5th grade students meet their
teacher for next year and sit in their new classroom
for the first time. Sixth graders enjoyed an extra
recess during this time. This year the first grade
is “looping” to
second grade with their teachers, Janet and Tammy.
This means they will have the same teachers for both
first and second grade.

So,
what happens when first graders jump up? This morning
our librarian, Teri, led the first graders around school
in search of second grade. When they arrived they met
their new teachers, Mr. Tenaj and Mrs. Mat who gave an
introduction to second grade and taught the insect song.
After completing an insect identification project, the
children walked around the building to enter into first
grade again with Janet and Tammy. Just before lunch the
students figured out that Tenaj was Janet spelled backwards! |
