For the first time this year, everyone got a 100% on their spelling test on Wednesday. Awesome job!  Second grade started to learn about pronouns in Grammar. They were excited to finally add this part of speech to our list that we have been using. We have been doing some new activities with money.  We are also working on new projects.

The next step will be working out the final designs with our teams. On Friday, we made some cross crafts that we took over to Westfield residents.
