Terra Nova and Kid City!

We had a full and busy week in 2.1! On Monday we welcomed Nikko to our class. The students were so excited to meet him and have him join our class!

On Wednesday and Thursday we took the Terra Nova Standardized Test. The students showed their knowledge of reading, math, science, social studies, Bible, and many other things. Although there were lots of tests, the students did a great job staying focused and doing their best! We also had the chance to do some fun activities in the afternoon to celebrate our testing progress.

Today we had our annual Kid City with all of 1st and 2nd grade! Our students worked as bankers, city hall clerks, police officers, cashier, doctors, nurses, and pharmacists. They brought together all of the lessons about community that we have learned over the past few months and did a great job running their very own city. Here are some pictures from today:
