WOW! We have been very busy! We haven't made a post forever. Friday we went to Jefferson County Park. It was so much fun. We played the squirrel game. We had to act like squirrels and collect our corn for the winter. It was hard. We couldn't even use our thumbs because squirrels don't have thumbs. We had to get the corn using only our fingers. In the afternoon we went rock hunting and insect hunting. We knew a lot about the insects because we are studying about them. We have Painted Lady Butterflies in the pupa stage right now in our room!

Today our class participated in O.R.E.O. Project 2011(Our Really Exciting Online Project.) www.jenuinetech.com.  Reece was the best stacker in the room. He won with a stack of 22 cookies. We also made sculptures with our cookies. In science we decided to see if the Oreo cookies would float. At noon we tried to break a Guiness Book record. Many of the staff and students at Cardinal met at the track to walk together. You can read more about this in our newsletter. We have had a busy day!

Wow! We can hardly believe it is October! It was a beautiful day out at recess. We can't wait to go home and play outside. In math we learned about attributes. Mrs. Ferrell told us we had to sort our shapes so that they were alike in only one way. That was harder than we expected.

Tomorrow we are going to sort the shapes so that they are alike in more than one way. Mrs. Ferrell said that we are going to start studying about insects. We are really excited!

We are celebrating homecoming at Cardinal this week. Today was Smurf Day. We had a lot of Smurfs running around the school. Duct Tape Day is tomorrow. We think that should be really interesting. In math we made a pictograph of our favorite days of the week. It is called a pictograph because we use pictures to make a graph. When we read Flat Stanley, we noticed that his brother Arthur was starting to become very jealous of him. Stanley was getting a lot of attention for being flat. In music we danced to lots of fun songs!

Tonight is our Literacy Night here at Cardinal Elementary. Some our families will be coming to hear about what we do during our reading time. Next week is homecoming. Tomorrow, Mrs. Ferrell is sending home a note that will tell us all about the fun activities that will be going on next week. We did Rocket Math again today. Mrs. Ferrell is impressed with how much we have improved in just a few short days. We introduced a new task from the Daily 5. It is called Word Work. We only have one more task to learn! We have worked really hard today in 2nd grade!
