November Fun - Field Trips, Elections, and Thanksgiving

We started November off with a bang and went on our Mad Science field trip.  The students had a blast and loved playing at the park.  They all looked great in their matching JPE shirts.

November 6th was election day for JPE 2nd graders.  Not only were our parents voting for the presidential election, but we were having our own election.  We read election books - Duck for President, My Teacher for President, and Grace for President.  Students made campaign posters, registered to vote, and then went to the polls!

I'm looking forward to all the fun things we will learn about during December.  We have started our Air and Weather unit and the class is so excited about learning about the moon and the weather. I have a class full of little astronomers!  During the first week of December, we will all turn into chefs.  We will bake "synonym" rolls, have an antonym picnic, and make fraction pizzas.  It is going to be a great month!
