Welcome to Second Grade
In second grade, we enjoy God's beautiful creation by caring for a Butterfly Garden!

Welcome to our class web page! We're ready for a wonderful school year and have a whole variety of learning experiences planned.

Please enjoy the photos of our Butterfly Garden taken throughout the summer. These beautiful coneflowers are native to Missouri. Our favorite is the passion vine that has pretty purple flowers that lead to fruit! It grows everywhere, though, so we have to pull it out of the wrong place constantly!

If you'd like to take a look at more beautiful flowers, visit the Missouri Botanical Garden. They have a wonderful new Children's Garden that you would really enjoy! You can also visit their web site at: http://www.mobot.org

We keep up our garden throughout the year. We also use it to participate in the Journey North Internet Project. We'll be planting empire red tulip bulbs to track spring around the world with schools from as far away as Canada. We'll be doing a bulb study as well.

We look forward to keeping you updated this year through our web page! Check back each month to see what we are doing.
