Christmas Surprises!!! :-)

In early November my students wrote a letter to our President, George W. Bush. We had great hopes that he would write us back! In the middle of November I received a package in the mail from the White House! I was pleasantly surprised to find a letter and a picture of our President inside. I was very excited, but decided to wait and surprise the students with it as part of their Christmas gift from me. I had made copies of each student's letter and then I made copies of the letter that he wrote them, and a color copy of the picture that he sent. I glued them on construction paper and laminated them. The students were so excited to get them today, they had given up hopes that he would write to us. My wish is that this will be something that the students will keep forever and share it with generations to come!

Polar Express and Pajama Day!
Merry Christmas from Ms. Morgan's 2nd Grade Class!

Check this out!

We have had a great past 2 weeks. The children really enjoyed the snow that we had all day last Monday (Be sure to check out the photos!). We also had a wonderful lesson with our Media Specialist, Mrs. Massey, about states of matter. In this lesson the students were able to watch a snowman form from a liquid, to a solid, and back to a liquid. We "built" the snowman in our classroom and the students predicted how long it would take for "Bob" to turn into a liquid. The predictions where anywhere from a few minutes to 11 days!!! We made him at 9:00 this morning and as of now 2:40 pm "Bob" has lost his head and is barely hanging on, but has not completely melted yet! Below you will find a picture of "Bob" right after he was made. Have a wonderful weekend!
"Bob" The Snowman!
