Sounds and 4th grade scientists

Second graders experimented with changing sounds using water in bottles. Some fourth graders shared science experiments and their reports with us.

Cowboys and fractions

We learned about the traditions of cowboys. Students worked in learning teams to share information from Cowboy Gear. They learned about fractions and probability. They learned about Landmarks here and abroad.

Field Trip

We had a great field trip. Our class went to the wetlands first. We saw a bald eagle circling over our heads, frogs having fun, sensitive ferns and acres of poison ivy. No ticks were found! Then we toured the power plant staying in the bus and ate our lunch in a warehouse. Second graders behaved excellently and seemed to enjoy the experience.

Literacy Circles

Students listened to our basket story and then met in their learning teams to read through the story together. After reading it their team leader led a discussion of the story. Finally they summarized it by drawing a sequence chart. Later students made observations using an energy ball.
