I was spoiled beyond belief by such wonderful students!

Winter Work!

We have been BUSY, BUSY in K2, learning all about winter aimals by reading and reenacting Jan Brett’s book, The Mitten.

 SDC18242 SDC18243 SDC18244 SDC18246 SDC18247 SDC18248

We celebrated Martin Luther King Jr Day and even made our own versions of MLK.

SDC18253

We talked a lot about snowmen (when it was 75 degrees)…

SDC18254 SDC18257 SDC18259

What do YOU think snowmen do at night?

After reading the book, of the same name, we came up with our own ideas…

SDC18260

They were all very clever and creative, but here are some great ones!

SDC18266

Brett’s snowman plays basketball at night.

SDC18264

Jackson’s snowman goes camping at night.

SDC18265

Auldyn’s snowman swims at night.

SDC18262

Hana’s snowman does art at night.

I am so proud of all the hard work the boys and girls have been doing!

Stay tuned for pictures of our 100th Day of School Activities!

The BFG!

This past Tuesday, we were lucky enough to head out on a field trip with all of Galatas to The Woodlands High School!

 SDC18226 

Their theater department put on a wonderful production of The BFG (The Big, Friendly Giant).

SDC18227

Everyone LOVED the play!

SDC18228

We all wondered how they made the Giant so tall!

SDC18229

The other monsters were a bit scary, but also pretty funny!

SDC18230

K2 would like to say a Big THANK YOU to the Galatas PTO for sending us on such a great field trip!
