The Bittersweet Blog

6/12/2015

2 Comments

 
This is our last blog of the year. We feel both sad and happy. We feel sad because it is the last day of school and this is our last blog post. We are going to miss our teachers and friends. We feel happy because we are going to have summer vacation. Some of us are going to camp and some of us are going away on vacation and we're excited. We are going to day camp and sleep-away camp.

These are some of the things we loved about this year -

Anthony - I loved art and Morah Bracha.

Asher - My favorite part of the year was when we had a candy buffet and a pinata. We had a candy buffet and pinata because our class got lots and lots of compliments from our behavior in the hallway. I also loved the trip tot he Science Center.

Brody - My favorite part of the year was having Mrs. Levine as a teacher, learning cursive, playing at recess and gym. I also liked when Joe Lewis (Oscar) came in and tried to steal the iPad.

Daniel - I like Judaic Studies, gym, math, English and everything else. The only thing I didn't like was when everyone went crazy in the class when the teacher wasn't in the room.

Hannah - My favorite part of second grade was the fairy tale play, gym, iPads, cursive, and Mokey movies.

Jacob - My favorite part of second grade was when we played with the blocks in the corner during break time. Another thing I liked was writing on the blog that I am writing on right now.

Jessica - I liked when we did the pinata because it was my idea. I liked the Science Center. I liked when we got ice cream with Morah Bracha and lollipops and when we did coordinate graphing in math. I liked when we learned about tribes.

Jonah - I liked getting ice cream with Morah Bracha, the pinata, and Spirit Day. I liked knowing that I am the fastest runner in the second grade. I liked doing what I am doing right now, which is blogging.

Julia B - I liked having the best teacher in the world. Another thing I liked was playing a game with Anthony and some of my friends at recess. I loved all the sugary candy and the ice cream I had this year. 

Julia L - My favorite part of the school year was Spirit Day and when Morah Bracha gave us ice cream and a candy party. I liked winning the race at Spirit Day.

Ryan - I liked having the best teacher in the second grade. I also love that she gave us a lot of candy and i like that she gets to be my homeroom teacher. I loved her shoes.

Zachary - My favorite part of the school year was Spirit Day and when we watched Mokie movies in Hebrew.

Happy Grandparents/Special Friends Day

5/10/2015

0 Comments

 
Friday is usually a happy day in school. This past Friday was exceptionally happy because we were hosts to some of our favorite people in the world - our grandparents or special friends. Our classroom was so crowded that the students had to sit on the floor! Our project gave us the opportunity to talk and compare our childhoods in 2015 with those of our special people. We wrote about and illustrated specific parts of our lives and created Life Ropes, hanging mobiles. The life ropes will be hanging in front of the second grade classrooms this week. Check them out if you're in our part of the hallway! Below are some pictures of the students working head-to-head with their special people and one picture of the silliness that usually occurs in our class at the end of the day on Fridays. Thank you to all the special people who spent their Friday with our class. We had a great time showing off to you!

Stay tuned, more pictures are on their way!
