Shel Silverstein: Lafcadio, the Lion Who Shot Back
Tammy and Jenni enjoyed reading "Lafcadio, The Lion Who Shot Back", as our first teacher read aloud. It appeared as all of you enjoyed our first teacher read aloud. Please share on the blog your favorite part of the book. Would you recommend this book to a friend in the other second grade class? Would you check this book out in the library or rush your parents to the bookstore to purchase a copy of the book? Do you think that we should read more Shel Silverstein books? We look forward to reading your comments.

Manaus, Brazil
Second Grade 2009-2010 Thank you so much for encouraging and inspiring me to apply for the TCS Travel Grant. I went to Brazil at the end of the summer. I had the best time ever. My journey began in Manaus in the Rain Forest and ended on the sandy beaches of Rio de Janerio. I saw so many exotic plants and animals and the food was absolutely delicious. I am sharing just of few of my pictures. I hope that you all had a great summer and that your 2010-2011 school year is off to a great start. Thanks for the memories.

Blogging Rules
1. Do not include your entire last name or any personal information. Please use your last initial. Parents, a great way to identify yourself is by using your child’s name; for example: “Jacob’s mom.” Never give out your address or phone number in your posts or comments.
2. Check your post for spelling errors, grammar errors, etc. Once you submit your comment or post, it cannot be changed.
3. Use appropriate language. Remember that everything you put on the web can be seen by lots of people. Be sure that you are proud of everything you write. Do not write anything that could hurt someone’s feelings or embarrass you later.
4. Show you're thinking, and encourage others to refine their thinking. Instead of writing, “Your post was so cool, dude,” try to express yourself more clearly. If you think a post was cool, try to tell why it was so amazing. Don’t be afraid to ask questions!
5. Remember that all comments have to be approved before they are posted to the blog. If your comment or post does not appear right away, please do not send it again. Tammy will review all comments and posts before posting them, so remember to make wise choices. Let’s be amazing digital citizens.
