Deputy Dyke Visits



Deputy Dyke came to speak to the 2nd graders about his job in our community. We learned that as a police officer he works to keep our community safe. The kids were able to listen to his stories, ask questions, and learn some valuable information as well about what to do if they are in trouble. He also gave each student a Jr. Deputy sticker badge to take home! Thanks Deputy Dyke for teaching us about your important job.

She's A Star!

Riley was our star student this week and to celebrate she brought in her guitar so we could listen to a few of her songs. She played two songs for us on her electric guitar. The kids had plenty of questions for her. It sounded great and she is very talented! Maybe she inspired some more rockers in our class....

A Visit to Miss VandeBunte's Class




On Thursday we presented our Christmas stories to Miss VandeBunte's class. We performed Polar Express, Geraldine's Big Snow, A Night Before Christmas, and Bear Noel for the 1st graders. They really enjoyed listening to our fluent reading and seeing how creative we got with our props and actions. :) Thanks for letting us visit 1st grade!

Writing Celebration




We have been working so hard at publishing our writing pieces! The kids are very proud of the work they did and it showed at our writing celebration. They were able to share their piece with their classmates and hear many compliments about their writing. Mr. DeLeeuew even stopped in to hear our small moment stories. Wonderful work second grade! Look for these to come home shortly and ask your child to read it to you as well.


"Fun"draiser Week
















As a second grade we wanted to do our part to raise money to purchase wells in Africa to help others get clean drinking water. We had a week where the the kids were able to pay to participate in fun events like wearing pjs to school, wearing hats, and being a twin with a second grade friend. We had a great time and it was for an even better cause! Thanks for the donations!

Christmas Cards




We made Christmas cards as a school family to give to the elderly at the Christian Rest Home in Grand Rapids. They turned out great and brought many smiles to those that received them.
