Mrs. Bolduc's Second
Grade

Mrs. Bolduc is a very nice teacher. There are
16 students in our class, 10 boys and 6 girls.
Mrs. Bolduc likes
to teach about famous people. We learned about Johnny Appleseed
and
Christopher
Columbus. Johnny Appleseed planted lots of apple
trees in
the United States. Christopher
Columbus was the first person from
Europe to discover America. He came from near Italy to America in the
Santa Maria. There were three ships that sailed together; the Nina, the
Pinta, and the Santa Maria.
We do the calendar
everyday.
We measure the temperature
outside. We have a chart that we put the temperature on. We count the
days that we have been in school. We also count how many days we have
left in school.
We have math class. Sometimes, we do chip
trading
with Mr. Edwards. Different chips are worth different things. For
example, 4 yellow chips would make a blue chip. 4 blue chips would make
a green chip. 4 green
chips make a
red chip. 4 red chips make a black
chip. We roll a dice to find out how many yellow chips we get. Then we
can trade them when we get a lot of yellow. We play to see who can get
the most chips. Mr. Edwards comes to our class every day to teach us
math.
He comes everyday before lunchtime.
We go to technology on Thursdays. We play on the
computer. We like to play I
Spy
Funhouse. We use the computer to draw
pictures, practice our writing, practice
math facts and
map practice.
We have P.E. two times a week. We have it on
Tuesdays and Thursdays. Sometimes we go outside and other times we work
in the gym. We might jog, we might gallop like zebras, we do other
excercises. We also play games like The Blob and Barnyard Mixup.
We love going to art class. Mrs. Parsons teaches us
how to paint and draw. We like to use clay. We have made ghosts and
penguins.
We have music on Fridays. We clap our
names out and maybe our favorite animals. Sometimes we do our favorite
colors or the month that we were born in. We sing songs about Johnny
Appleseed.
On Mondays, we have library. Mrs. Chamberlin reads a
book to us. There are lots of good books in the library. We can take
out one or two books a week. We talk about the Red Clover books.
We have a new climbing structure on the playground.
We can get all the way through the new equipment without touching the
ground. One rule that we have is that our heads
can be below our
bottoms on the equipment. We can't hang by our feet on the equipment.
We love school most of the time. We have a
good lunch program, we have a great playground. We are glad to be in
second grade.
