Our Field Trip

 

Preschool classes were able to experience the indoor and outdoor areas of the Salato Center.  Some of the children in the morning class were able to actually see and touch a Black King snake.  There was also an area where children could experience simulated fishing and weighing the fish they caught.  Other children were able to  measure themselves by way of swordfish.  Outdoors they were able to visit with the Brown Bear, the American Eagle and the Kentucky Wildcat.  Both children and parents enjoyed walking the nature trails and observing the wildlife displays within the Salato Center.  Many of the children who don’t ride the bus to school were more excited about riding the bus than the actual center!  We hope your children enjoyed the trip as much as we enjoyed taking them.

Picture Day

Don’t forget that picture day is this Monday the 18th!  We will be taking class pictures as well.  I can’t wait to see all those smiling faces!

Second Street School 2010-2011 yearbooks are also on sale. Yearbooks are on sale for $15.00.  Checks can be made out to Second Street School and turned into the school office.

P is for Picnic

On Monday the 21st, Mrs. Hardin’s classes decided to enjoy the warm weather in conjuction with learning about the letter P.  They had a picnic during their lunchtime on the school lawn.  Earlier in the day they read Animal Picnic and Spot’s First Picnic to introduce the concept of having a picnic.  The children really enjoyed sitting on the quilts and sharing lunch with their friends.  Some of the children had never experienced a picnic before!

Dr. Seuss Night-March 2, 2011

Mr. Crowe reading with his iPad.

I hope you were able to come visit us last Wednesday to celebrate Dr. Seuss’s birthday and promote reading!  The students had a fun week of themes each day from crazy socks, pajamas, and hat day.  We had a great turn out on Wednesday evening for the celebration and preschool chose the book, “Green Eggs and Ham.”  I think all the families and preschoolers had fun.  I know that my two kids did.  Mr. Crowe came to Ms. Partlow’s room and read “Green Eggs and Ham” using his iPad.  The students were truly amazed by his high tech book and Mr. Crowe’s story telling talents.  Mrs. Hardin had Dr. Suess activities as well from green play dough, green egg puzzles, and writing letters in green shaving cream.  I think I even saw an actual Cat in the Hat walking around the school!
