In each bag, the students found five items to help them be successful in second grade. The bookmark because we will be reading a lot of wonderful books. A pencil because we will be writing creative stories. An eraser because everyone makes mistakes. A sticker because we will all stick together. Finally, there were smarties in the bag because everyone is smart! Oh, and thanks to Ms. Ott the students enjoyed a snack of gold fish because they are o-FISH-ally in 2nd grade!!
The second grade went on a field trip to Jean Lafitte with Mrs. Brierre. We saw spiders, frogs, minnows, crawfish, tadpoles, salamanders, and snakes to name a few. The students enjoyed learning about the different critters- especially when they got to use their own net and dip it into the water to see what they could catch! It was a nice day to be enjoying nature, and most all of the students have mentioned that this was their favorite field trip yet!
