Zachary's Blog!

Hi! My name is Zachary. I like Star Wars and Minecraft. At school I do math and my BFF is Timmy and what is 7+7=? 8+8=? 9+26=?

In November, we learned about immigration and family history. We got to have a Family Feast to celebrate! Here’s me eating yummy food and my favorite part of the feast were the Cheetoes!

Each week we are Star Surfers, we get to pick our “Dress for Success” clothing on Friday! One of my favorite days was costume day and below is a picture...can you guess which one I am?

Also at school, I am a Stars in Motion leader. We get to lead the whole school including 2nd grade! It's so fun. Watch my video!

I like Hockey and Soccer. My favorite color is red. I have two siblings. Can you answer my math questions I gave you at the beginning of my blog? P.S-If you're 9 years old or older, you have to comment about something else below!

Parker's Blog

Hi! My name is Parker! I am in 2nd grade and I am in Mrs. Evans’ class. In school, my favorite subject is math and I love double-digit subtraction. I think it’s easier than double-digit adding. My grandpa got to come and be a mystery reader in our classroom. He read about chameleons and here is a picture.

I went to Disney World in the week of my star surfer week. My favorite ride was a ride called the Rocking Roller Coaster. It was my favorite ride because it went upside down and it went very FAST. This is a picture of the ride at Disney.

My favorite Disney character is Goofy because he is funny. Football is my favorite sport to play with my dad.
What is your favorite math subject at school? What is your favorite sport and why?

Is it 2017 already!?!? Holy cow!! We are already in the New Year and we're making our way well into the flow of 2nd grade routines. We had some great experiences in the month of December from leading Stars In Motion as 2nd graders, to our very first Evans School Store! Such a fun time at Star Academy. Check out our pictures and videos below and also links to the past few Academic Updates!

Hi my name is Lorenzo. I Like Pokemon Go! and I like Minecraft too. My Xbox is fun because I Like Call of Duty and I like to watch DAN TDM on YouTube. I also enjoy watching Pat and Jen on Youtube.

I like school. School is fun because we get to read. My favorite thing to do during the week is going on Prodigy during GLAD stations. I also enjoy Fun Friday and my favorite room is the movie room. What is your favorite thing to do at school?

 

From,

Lorenzo

Another great few weeks in 2nd grade! From learning a few crazy double digit strategies (and doing amazingly well on them, I must say :)) to learning where our ancestors came fun, we've had some great times in 2nd grade. And...the fall party put on by our amazing parents was so memorable!! Check out our past few updates as well as some fun pictures to capture our face-paced Star Surfer classroom!

2016-17 Back To School "Season"

Wow! Can you believe our Fall Break is already over? What a ride into an amazing Back To School "season"! Yes, I feel like the whole Back To School thing should be considered a season; just like a sports season. With highlights, goals, touchdowns, successes, mistakes, redos, and even some setbacks for our "team". But without a doubt, that is what we are becoming...a TEAM in 2nd grade. It has been fun, exhausting, amazing, challenging, incredible...the list goes on and on. 

Oh, and add a BRAND new school on top of that? Holy moly! It's definitely been all of the above. But, things are finally slowing down and we are getting into a routine. The kids (and I) love our new school and everything about it. We are still looking forward to many more new exciting "openings" such as GRASS, and a brand new multi-purpose room (which I haven't even see yet)! We are crossing our fingers that our 2nd Grade Market Day will be the first time our class gets to "break in" that new part of Star Academy! 

Here are some super fun pics dating all the way back to Meet the Teacher in August! Enjoy the smiles :)
