Miss Kinney's 2nd Grade Class

We had a great time at Conner Prairie!!
Responsibility Students of the Month
Congratulations to Seth and Olivia for being chosen as the Responsibility Students of the Month! Seth and Olivia will be invited to eat lunch on the stage with Mrs. Curran, Mrs. Fiesbeck, and Mrs. Koers! Next month, we will be looking for students showing Respect.
KidBlog
Today we used KidBlog to write about our experience at Conner Prairie! I will post a link to our blog when we complete our entries next week.
Mystery Number Skype
Today we Skyped with a class from Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. We chose the number 87 because some of us are 8 years old and some of us are 7 years old. We are proud to say that we guessed their number first, which was 33!

Hamilton County Historian
We enjoyed learning about the history of Fishers with the Hamilton County Historian!
What do you WONDER about?
Last Friday we began exploring the things we WONDER about! Students will get to participate in an inquiry project of their choice during Daily 5. Students are encouraged to explore and research topics they are passionate about. After going through the research process, students will share the final product with the rest of us.
Macy and Christian WONDERING about sharks.
