     Second Grade is one of the busiest grades in the school. All year they prepare for two major sacraments in the Catholic religion: the First Holy Reconciliation and the First Holy Eucharist. On February 21, the second grade class will make their First Holy Reconciliation. For preparation, the second grade practices the Act of Contrition, they act out confessions, and they make art work about receiving a new heart. The teachers think that the kids are completely ready for this sacrament. Preparing for Reconciliation is only adding on to what they know about God and their religion. The second graders say that they are very excited for this sacrament. About every few months, every one from third grade and up is required to go to Confession in school, and in February, the second graders will attend with us.  

     Last month in December, the second grade went on a field trip to the Seiberling Nature Realm. At the nature realm, they went on hikes, learned about where the animals live and how they make their habitats, and they pet a snake. Emily and Chloe K. said the nature realm was a lot of fun. In the next few months, the kids will be going on a field trip to Schwebels Bakery. They said they are excited to go to Schwebels because they get free bread.

     In April, the second graders will be working on an animal habitat poster. They have been studying animals for a while. On December 10, Mrs. Machuga came in and talked to the second grade about animal footprints. Other projects the second grade is working on is making paper Mache models of the sun, moon, and the earth. The paper Mache is for learning about the solar system.  Right now, the second grade is doing snowman projects and crafts, learning how to tell time, tooth care and hygiene, and cursive writing.

     Chloe K. and Emily K. said their favorite teacher is Mrs. Jacobs. They said that she is their favorite teacher because she is nice and a very good teacher.

     As you can definitely tell, the second graders are very busy, maybe even the busiest in the school!
