                   Second grade has been very busy working on science and social studies. They have recently been studying animals and their different environments. This week in particular the class went over animals that lived in ponds, or to them “critters in the pond!” They learned about many animals such as beavers, otters, and frogs. The students have not only been reading a multitude of books, but have also been incorporating their weekly subscription to Time Magazine in order to learn more about these pond inhabitants.

When a few of the students were asked what their favorite part of this activity was, they answered by saying how they loved the books they read in class also counted towards their Accelerated Reading points. Second grade student, Carson, says that he really enjoyed trying to recite all of the animals that live in ponds. Carson and Evan even tried to see who could remember the most animals. Emmie and Anna really enjoyed learning about what the animals do during the day. Mrs. Fischer, second grade teacher, stated that over all, the students really appreciated being independent and reading the books by themselves on such an interesting topic.
