Field Trip to the Library

Nothing beats a nice walk on a sunny day except maybe reading a good book!

Today we took a walk down the block and through the woods to the Paw Paw Public Library.  Miss Whitney gave us a tour.

We saw some memorabilia from the Twin Towers.

The window boxes are a great place to curl up and read a book!

There's even a place in the floor where you can see the buried time capsule!
We wonder what's inside!

Miss Whitney is the best reader of "Flip Flap Jack".  We love doing the hand motions!

She also read a great book about vowels called "E-mergency!"
We really loved this book!

Then Miss Whitney showed us how to do Jacob's Ladder with string.
She told us if we come back to see her at the library, she will give each of us a string to keep!  How generous is that?

We sure loved our visit to the library today.
We can't wait to come back this summer and check out books!

Everybody Journals!

We have been switching over to Google Docs for our blogging needs and so today we celebrated getting all the bugs (pardon the pun!) worked out by letting everybody blog!  We are so excited about using Google Docs!  First, the high schoolers will be moving to Google Docs this year, so we feel very "in" and prepared beyond our years! :)  Secondly, using this platform allows the students to blog without assistance from me to save to a flash drive and transfer it to the blog.  I'm still the Editor-In-Chief, but they can write, save and log off for the next person without any assistance!  Finally, it allows me more freedom and time to get the blogs posted!  You all have noticed, I'm sure that I go in spurts - when Room 18 gets busy, I tend to forget about getting the blogs posted!  Google Docs makes it a couple steps easier for me!

So, read on!  Enjoy the blogging by these amazing second graders!

I am exited because in September my sister Cadiasa is coming to this school Paw Paw Early Elementary School. I will take good care of her in school because she is my sister and if I do not take good care of her I would get in trouble.

On the bus i HAVE to take care of her because there might be alot of people on the bus and alot of screaming. If she was sitting on the edge she can fall of. I would say she would have to sit down on the because she probaly wont know not to sit down.

We will be in different schools I will be in Later Elementary and she will be in Early Elementary.she will be in first grade and I will be in third grade and she will miss me.-Carlysha.

Hailey came over to my house on Saturday! We had a lot of fun until I cut my foot. That part about me cutting my foot wasn’t fun at all. I got a band aid on my foot and was okay,but my foot still was hurting. Hailey and I went inside we started playing. Then we went to Mcdonalds and we played in the play land after we ate. Hailey and I were spying on my mom and dad,but they noticed so I don’t think we did a very good job. - By Taylor
