This is our last week of Sign Club. The students are already asking for the Club to continue next year...SO...for sure!! I am very excited about working more with the students! Starting in January, we learned many things. How to finger spell with our abc's, we learned the Pledge, we learned family signs, animal sings, greeting and good-byes. The students hard work paid off and they were invited by the School Board to share their knowledge at the next meeting. On May 26th a small group of students representing the 90 students will give a small presentation. They are such great students!! Here you see some of the student creating a background for the skits that they will preform on our last day of sign club...they are so excited about using their signs and putting on a small skit. It will be so fun to see what they come up with...the assignment was easy...they are an animal and the rest is up the them. What a wonderful journey this year has been!

As the school year comes to an end, Mrs. Egli's class is still hard at work. This last unit of language...Writers Workshop is the most creative of all. The are enjoying the information they are learning about the 4 music genre's, Jazz, Classical, Country and Rap. They have listened and read lyrics, made text to text connections, text to self connections and even visualized a picture that classical music created for them. This week the students even wrote and preformed their very own lyrics in a Rap song. The student/students that I work with may find it hard...but not this time! They loved the music, some can hear and others feel the beat...above you can see a sample of a Rap song that the student wrote and was also preformed with my help...I was the voice and the student was the beat. What a great time we all had with this!!

In the month of April...Mrs. Egli's class adopted some caterpillars in hopes that they would go through metamorphosis and change into butterflies. Above you can see the wonderful ways the caterpillars changed and turned. Here is our beautiful butterfly...What a great and fun learning time...it happened so fast. WOW. We have set our Butterfly free. Fly far, live long and remember Mrs. Egli's second grade class!
