I know everyone across @fcpsnews is working hard - I do. BUT. I feel like there should be a *special* shout out to our amazing #FCPSsbts that are patiently leading us into a whole new world of technology and digital learning.

2nd place overall in the VES read-a-thon for the second week in a row! Keep in reading!! @ViennaPTA @MrsMeletti

And the mystery reader was... (drum roll please)... Mrs. Hayes! The class rolled out our “red carpet” for our mystery reader this week. Thank you so much for reading some fun books, especially Secret Pizza Party by Adam Rubin!

That time we found out we were the grade level winners for week 1 of the read-a-thon!

Will Punxsutawney Phil see his shadow tomorrow? 🤔 Most of the second graders at @ViennaES are predicting six more weeks of winter! ❄️ ⛄️ @MrsDempseyVES @MrsMeletti

And our surprise Myster Reader was Mr. French! Thank you so much for taking the time to read to our class today. @MrsMeletti

Thank you to the Doherty’s for being this weeks mystery readers!! We were lucky to have not one but two special readers this morning.

We successfully completed our countdown with kindness. I think our favorite act was writing anonymous kind notes! Happy Holidays everyone! #VESisthebest

We enjoyed our STEM snowman challenge with our 6th grade buddies from Mrs. Kunkle’s class! The challenge was to build the tallest snowman using marshmallows and toothpicks. @MsKunkleVES

Last week was Inclusion week, our class motto was “Keep it Kind.” We continue the trend as we kick off our countdown to winter break with kindness. Today’s challenge was to smile to atleast 10 different people! Can you meet the challenge? @MrsMeletti @ViennaES @MrsKossoyVES

Painting fall colors in 2nd grade today!

Thank you to our Mystery reader Mrs. McVey! We enjoyed listening to the story, “The Eleventh Hour.” Thanks for sharing one of your childhood favorites with us!

Happy Halloween! We had fun during this STEM project. The challenge was to build a witches broom that would hold the most amount of candy pumpkins! The “official” winning broom held 9, the unofficial winner held 11! 🎃 #VESisthebest @MrsMeletti @ViennaES

99% of the class was engaged when our mystery reader joined us today. 🤣Thank you Mrs. Cilman for reading Shel Silverstein to us. Our class clearly loved reading Giraffe and a Half TO you. Oh and check out all of our jerseys today for our second spirit day of the year. Go Nats!

Everyone loves the computer station in math!

We were so lucky to have the author @KathrynOtoshi visit VES today. It was so meaningful to hear the background of how her stories were developed and learn the many different messages her books teach us about kindness and self worth. @MrsMeletti

Thank you Mr. Dwyer for being our first mystery reader of the year! We especially enjoyed the book “You Don’t Want a Unicorn!”

We had some serious agents in our classroom today! #VESisthebest

We had 3 more butterflies emerge in class! They took a little field trip last night! 😆 Reply to this tweet if can you tell me whether the monarch in the first photo is a male or female. 🐛🦋

We had 5 out if 10 monarchs emerge! Our 1st male monarch emerged this morning!
