Snow + Valentine's Party = An Exciting Friday!!

Friday was a day full of fun. First, we launched our Goods and Services PBL unit with local business people coming to speak to our students about what they provide to our community. We heard from Mr. Coates from Zaxby's, Mr. Ryan from Bi-Lo, Miss Cooley from Strawberry Hill, Mr. Allen from Allen Real Estate, and Mrs. Loftis from Marian Loftis Photography. We are so grateful they came to share information with our students to prepare them for this fun, meaningful unit.
During the presentations, it began to snow, so we hurried outside to catch some on our tongues. It was brief, but beautiful snow!
Finally we had our ice cream sundae party at the end of the day. Yum! Sugar and snow makes for a chaotic but memorable day at OES!











Pancakes with the Principals

Our class read the most number of steps in 2nd grade during Christmas break (over 7000!) so our reward was getting to eat pancakes with our wonderful principals, Dr. Patterson and Mrs. Skinner. They were delicious and the kids loved it! Great job friends! I'm very proud of you and hope you continue your love of reading!
