Lipscomb (and George) Go to Vienna

Mrs. Lankford's second graders are excited to share the Vienna Experience with 28 Lipscomb University students from now through December. "George," the class mascot, is traveling to Vienna, Austria for the fall semester with LU students participating in the study abroad program. Mrs. Lankford's students will be corresponding with university students as they travel throughout Europe learning about different cultures, languages, and landscapes. Elementary students will be recording and graphing miles traveled and hearing about the region's different foods, famous sites, and fun facts. Elementary students have been arriving each morning, anxious to check email, hoping to hear of daily adventures from George and his experiences!

It's Easy Being Green

Hard to imagine we were sweltering just a few short days ago as we now enjoy the beginning of our second day of cool, crisp relief... though the near-100-degree temps last Friday didn't keep the crowd down from Second Grade's, Frog and Toad Picnic. Moms and dads, grandparents, aunts and uncles joined their kiddos for a hoppin' good time at the annual event celebrating the students' study of one of nature's most intriguing cold-blooded creatures. From the examination of metomorphosis in Science to completing the entire Frog and Toad collection in Reading, DLES second graders had a lot of new information to share with loved ones about the enchanting amphibians.
