Happy Election Day, everyone!
Yesterday, our kindergarteners learned all about what it means to vote and be citizens. Kindergarten classes voted on, which was better breakfast or lunch. Mr. McCorkle and Mr. Barth debated in the morning, and classes voted in the afternoon. It was a very close race and lunch won by a narrow margin of only 2 votes!

Students in Mrs. Davis’s 2nd grade have been working hard on 2-digit addition with regrouping. Today, they were able to work with partners to complete their homework.

Keep up the good work, 2nd grade!
