Buzzing with Creativity: Mrs. Marzan's 2nd Graders Explore Insects!
In an end of unit activity that was the bee's knees, Mrs. Marzan's 2nd grade class delved into the world of insects, learning about their fascinating characteristics and habitats. To cap off the unit, students got their creative juices flowing by crafting their own unique insect keychains, a project that had everyone buzzing with excitement. This hands-on activity not only solidified their newfound knowledge but also gave them a "key" to unlocking creativity.
This month, we’re celebrating Maverick Hansen for receiving the Kindness Award!
Maverick’s teacher shared, "Maverick is always very aware of what’s happening around him. He is often the first to jump up to fix or straighten something in the classroom that is amiss. He is very sweet in offering his assistance to others, comforting and looking out for his friends when they seem upset, apologizing when needed, and sharing his supplies. He’s a great addition to our classroom of friends!"
Maverick, we are so lucky to have your kind heart at Foothills! Keep SOARing and spreading kindness!
