Winter the Elf was very busy in second grade this week! We probably won't see Winter again until next year. I'm sure she told Santa that the boys and girls at Glenbrook were very, very well behaved!

The kids have been participating in Junior Achievement the past few weeks. They have been learning about the community, wants and needs, goods and services, taxes, and voting. They earned their completion certificates this week!
Thanks Josh for teaching us!

Elf on the Shelf
A very special Elf has been sent to second grade. The kids are super excited! She will be visiting our classrooms and reporting to Santa. She will become magical once we name her. Right now we are voting for our favorite elf name. The kids know that she cannot be touched or she will lose her magical powers. She loves to listen to kids but will not be able to talk to anyone...Santa's Rules! Please keep an eye on the blog for pics! You never know where she will end up!

Thanksgiving
We had Thanksgiving last Thursday. We eat a big feast that includes: turkey, potatoes, ham, stuffing, buns, pie, and other yummy foods. Most of us get together with our families. Sometimes we travel to visit our aunts, uncles, and grandparents. We give thanks for the people who fight for us. Some people go to church and pray. We don't go to school on Thanksgiving. It is a special holiday for us. Our next BIG holiday is Christmas!

Guidance
Mrs. Bogacz talked to the class about the importance of listening, following directions, and making sure to be respectful by not shouting out in class. This was an experiment she did with the kids to talk about shouting out in class.

Spooktacular Masquerade
For our monthly team competition, we had a Spooktacular Masquerade! The kids had to create masks and then we voted on the best boy and girl mask in each class. The winners then competed against the rest of the second grade. We took 4th and 5th place. The masks were sooo neat!
Here is Mrs. Wiedeman's Class...

Superflex
Superflex came to school today. Superflex lives inside our brains. He helps us listen, be respectful, be safe, and to be kind. He is a great superhero! We will be learning about some Unthinkables in the near future. These characters live in our brain as well and make us do things that are not good. We need to use our Superflex thinking to beat the Unthinkables!

Skype--New Zealand
We spoke with our friends in New Zealand. They were just getting ready to start school as we were getting ready to leave school. So neat to have friends in a different part of the world.
