First of all, I am new to blogging so the pictures aren't in the order I would have liked! I hope you enjoy the pictures of some of our students having the time of their lives!

Mission accomplished! The field trip was a success! We went, had a great time and returned with only minor injuries, and just a few of those. Everyone LOVED the musical. The students were engaged throughout with all of the wonderful acting, singing, dancing and drumming. I was amazed with the talent displayed as well as the behavior of our awesome second graders. We were happy to get moved right to the front of the theater from our seats in the back. We would also like to express our appreciation for ALL of the chaperones who helped more than they know. Field trips would not be as fun or even possible without you! We enjoyed seeing your children having fun with you as well! They were all proud to show you off!

Although the weather was dreary, we decided to go ahead with the original plans of going to the park for a picnic lunch. The best part of the park was that besides us, it was empty! The children had the entire playground to themselves. We got to play for an hour or so before loading the buses to return to school. The teachers AND students (probably the chaperones too?!) were happy to be back at Galloway Elementary. Although the day seemed already full, we had still time to have Reading, Centers and a short Writers Workshop.

Get some rest Second Graders! We have another week packed with lots of learning!
