Special Activities

There have been some special things going on in Room 210 this week.  On Thursday, Leon's dad, Simon, came in to read us a story in honor of Leon's birthday. He told us about Leon's namesake, his ancestor who came to this country as a teenager.  Simon read a typed (on a typewriter!!) manuscript of The Dancer, a story THAT Leon had written about a character who felt different from others.

On Friday morning we had a great turn-out for our Math-In.  Thanks to all of you who could join us and learn from your children!

Right from the Math-In, the second graders headed down to the gym to see a huge, plastic model of a whale. Skyler's grandparents came in to talk to us about the massive creature.
