Rocks and Leaves

We created our own version of metamorphic rocks today.  Those rocks are created in God's world by incredible pressure and heat.  Our rocks were rather fun to make!  Please ask your student about our time in science.

Pressure and heat were also used in second grade art yesterday.  The students had to knead clay to make it plyable and then use a leaf from God's creation to press into a thin layer of clay.  You will be able to see our designs after they are baked and painted.

Fall is an awesome time to rake leaves, make leaf piles, and run through leaf piles.  I hope you get a chance to enjoy all three!

The Bazaar is next Wednesday.  Your child doesn't need very much money in order to purchase cookies, plants, bookmarks, or crafts.  We window shop together as a class and then the kids get to spend some time making purchases.  It is nice for us to be able to mingle with congregation members and enjoy a break from the normal routine.

Today we met our PreK buddies!  Everyone went outside to play together and find out something about eachother.  The first thing we learned as second graders is that there are more PreK students than their are 2nd graders.  It is a encouraging partnership.  We will do more with our buddies through out the school year.
