These detectives were spotted adding words from their independent reading to our review wall! ♥️ #exploretheunknown #2ndgradeis2ndtonone

Discussing moments in our lives with strong feelings during writing! We're getting closer and closer to our full blown workshop and I am so excited to see what these authors create! ♥️ #2ndgradeis2ndtonone

Taking a moment at the end of the day to add to our Friday Reflection Journal! Have a wonderful long weekend! 😊 #2ndgradeis2ndtonone

Thank you Mrs. Lain for teaching us so much about our brains!

We heard from previous presidents to help us get ready for our campaigns! The kiddos asked great questions like "what was the hardest part about it?" And "is it a lot of work?" This former president and VP did a great job preparing & encouraging them as they prepare for debates♥️

Announcing our 2023 Fall Presidential Candidates! 🥳 pretty sure this is the most we've ever had on a ballot. I just love their enthusiasm and can't wait for all the kiddos to experience the whole process starting with speeches/debates next week to find this semester's winner!

Had some fun with place value making our own base ten creations! We'll quiz our neighbors Friday and challenge them to find how many squares were used using our number form knowledge! We also started debates and revised our personal narratives. Busy day! 😊 #2ndgradeis2ndtonone

Busy week! Error analysis with our partners, working through the engineering design process as we work to create something that can improve our school community, and voting for our first classroom president! 😊 #2ndgradeis2ndtonone

A special guest reader in the am, comparing numbers using a number line, and then this afternoon we had engineers working on a task to improve something within their school community. Busy Tuesday for these explorers! Can't wait for them to "sell" their ideas to our leader 😊

We earned our first classroom celebration! Flashlight/Fort/Glow day was a success 😊 #2ndgradeis2ndtonone

Some spectacular Hawks stopped by tonight’s board meeting. Haverhill Elementary students represented their school and shared “What Makes Haverhill Special”. While the programs and activities available are amazing, we think the staff and students are too! Great job, Hawks!

What a week! A presentation on the importance of oral hygiene from Bussick, a virtual event on body friendly foods & recognizing that ads can lie, another special guest reader, and a lesson with Mrs. Lain on being an upstander, complete with our own "bully bot" creations! ❤️

We had such a blast with our buddies this week! We practiced going through our data binders for our grade level showcases and then wrapped up the week with our PBIS kickball reward! Thanks Officer Kramer for being such an amazing all-time pitcher 😊 #2ndgradeis2ndtonone

We love swimming!!🏊🏻‍♀️

The zoo came to Haverhill this week! Thank you to the Fort Wayne Kids Zoo Zoomobile for talking to us about ecosystems and how plants and animals survive in various locations. Such a great way to expand upon our life science unit - we had a blast! #exploretheunknown #2ndgradeis2ndtonone

Swimming may be over but we had a blast celebrating our last day in the pool! Thank you Mandy Stout and all the Summit volunteers for giving these kiddos such an amazing experience! 🏊🏻‍♀️ #2ndgradeis2ndtonone

"Wow, this character is NOT being a safe Hawk." 🥰 Love the connections this reader made and his analysis of why! (Also love the photo bombs) 😆 #2ndgradeis2ndtonone

Sharing our informational texts with our buddies! They were a great audience for us - thanks Miss Chapman for meeting with us! #2ndgradeis2ndtonone

First STEM challenge of the day: snowball/marshmallow towers! 😊

Challenge # 2: save Santa! His sleigh broke down so these engineers constructed a parachute to bring him safely back to the ground 😊
