There are so many worthy organizations that are fighting to better our country and our world. I have narrowed it down to some great choices for our students to vote on--we will donate the profits from our sales at this year's 2nd Grade Bazaar (Flea Market) to the winner of our poll.
Here is some information about each of the charities we will be choosing from:
World Wildlife Fund - fighting to protect endangered animals American Red Cross: North Texas Region - provides relief to victims of disasters and helps people prevent, prepare for and respond to emergencies. Coppell Humane Society - a foster home organization that keeps the animals until they find their forever homes, no matter how long that takes Ocean Conservancy - brings people together to find solutions for our water planet, protecting the ocean and its wildlife for future generations

Many of our reading groups have been reading books about space, the moon, and other topics about our solar system. Our "Seagulls" reading group just finished up a book on Space today, and since we read about the Hubble telescope, Mrs. O'Bryan researched online and found its official website!
This link will take you to the photo gallery for some AMAZING photos the Hubble has taken:
I accidentally came across this App on our iPads, and it is my new favorite!! (Thanks to Rozena, who had me searching out Apps we could use to work on our writing!)
We had so much fun creating our own Sock Puppet shows about Needs vs. Wants on our iPads, and we even taught our Kinder Buddies how to do it!
In this project, each student independently chose his/her sock puppet characters, designed their "set" and performed the dialogue between both characters. They only have 30 seconds to record, and if they mess up, they have to start all over, so you can imagine it can be a time-consuming process! :)
I am including all the puppet shows that were finished; if your child's doesn't appear, please tell him/her to finish it during Daily 5 so I can upload it!
