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.
