Jeffrey's Last Day of 2nd Grade

Jeffrey finished up his second grade year at Corl Street.  His teacher Mrs. McGann is retiring this year, and Jeffrey was lucky to be in her final second grade class.  Mrs. McGann is really passionate about reading, and always encouraged Jeffrey to read a lot at school.  Jeffrey's love of reading has really taken off this spring, he has finished two books of the 'Warriors' series, which is about four clans of wild cats and their adventures. Each book is about 300 pages, and Jeffrey really enjoys them because he likes cats so much.  Many of his drawings and projects from school feature 'kittys'.  

This year in school Jeffrey completed a research project about Eastern Box Turtles.  He said it was 'the hardest thing I have ever done in school'.  We were glad that Jeffrey decided to present his report to us, there were lots of interesting facts about box turtles.  I did not know that Box Turtles could live to be 100 years old!  Here is a photo of the finished report, he is so proud of it:  

The last few weeks of school were really fun for Jeffrey, they had 'Camp Week' with lots of great activities and delicious snacks from Mrs. Cross - 'Fish, Slug, Bear' Snack mix - which was goldfish crackers, Cheese Puffs, and teddy grahams, Smores, 'Sleeping Bag Snacks', and Rice Krispie Treat nests with Chocolate eggs.  Other highlights were the school picnic, and Jeffrey loved Field Day.  With all that fun the last few weeks of school were homework-free.  Here is a picture of Jeffrey on the last day he had to do homework, he was absolutely thrilled!!
