Wednesday, June 4, 2008

This week we started our special June activities. The first activity was Favorite Photo Day. Lots of people brought in photographs to share. Some people brought in pictures of their family members, old photos, and vacation photos. Kelsey brought in a poster-sized photo of her uncle riding a bull. After everyone shared their photos, we took a museum walk around the room so that we could get a close up view. We also got to see a performance of the book, The Story of Ferdinand. It was at the middle school. After the performance ended, some children were called to the stage to act out a little story. Jackie was one of the children who got to join the actors on the stage and act as a goat.

Yesterday was Crazy Hair Day. When Ms. Stern picked us up in the morning, she was wearing a blonde wig. No one believed it was real. During snack recess, Madison S., Madison B., and Joseph V. got to make Ms. Stern’s real crazy hairdo using clips and rubber bands. Aidan painted his hair rainbow colors, some girls had lots of ponytails, Jackie wore her hair backwards, some people had color in their hair, and some people had fake hair on their heads. Lots of boys used gel to make new hairstyles. At the end of the day, we voted to see who had the craziest hair. Aidan had the most votes (12). Julia, Kelsey, and Jackie were tied for second place with 2 votes apiece.

Today was our trip to TZE. Ms. Lipton, the assistant principal, spoke to us and showed us a presentation about the people we will see next year. We went to Ms. Galvin’s class. The children in her class taught us the words to the “Tappan Zee Elementary” song. They also shared some of the things that they do in second grade and answered our questions. We had a quick snack, a brief tour, and then we were on the bus back to school. We continued decorating our Field Day t-shirts. They came out awesome! Each one is unique and different. Ms. Stern read us another chapter of The BFG called “The Plan.” Sophie came up with an idea how she and the BFG can stop the giants from eating more “human beans” by mixing dreams so that the Queen of England finds out. We think the plan is going to work. Hopefully, we’ll find out tomorrow!
