Mrs. Morrissette's second graders are currently
working on reading comprehension and fractions for
the FCAT test. Congratulations to Jasmine Payne for
being selected to participate in the "Make a Wish"
compliments of Linking Arms.
Mrs. Morrissette selected
several second grade students to participate in the
field trip to Mobile, Alabama compliments of Mr.
Dickerson on behalf of Linking Arms to visit the
Gulf Coast Science Exploreum. The students had a
chance to experience science using a hands on
approach. The students were engaged throughout the
entire field trip along with their teacher.
Mrs. Morrissette and the
second grade students would like to tell everyone to
enjoy their family and friends during this holiday
season and Happy New Year to all.

The 2nd Grade Class is working on Character
Development. So, this session, all our assignments
are geared towards helping our students grow to
become better people. We are looking at everyday
situations to see how we can incorporate these new
lessons. Even getting on the school bus gives us an
opportunity to improve our character.
As we follow the rules including facing front,
buckling up, keeping our hands and feet to
ourselves, and being kind to others while performing
this task, we are becoming better people. We are
also learning the meaning of respect and disrespect.
Often we forget to abide by the rules.
We talk when the bus driver says be quiet or cut in
line to get on the bus first. But these lessons in
this session are helping us all to realize our
mistakes, correct them, and ultimately develop the
character we will need to become better people.
