Your children are engaged in skills to develop their eye/hand and eye/foot coordination, distance and height perception and math skills. They have enjoyed volleyball, juggling scarves, parachute games, obstacle courses, cardio drumming, holiday games, and more.
Thank you for continuing to have your children prepared and ready for physical education classes!

In our Enrichment and Gifted & Talented classes this marking period, we have been diving into a variety of exciting topics! From state studies to weather patterns and animal adaptations, it's been a month full of discovery and hands-on learning.
Second graders have been exploring the history, geography, and culture of different U.S. states. Each student has researched a state, learning about famous landmarks, regional foods, and the state's role in American history. It’s been wonderful to see students developing an appreciation for the diverse regions of our country.
As part of our weather unit, students have been investigating weather patterns and the science behind them. We've explored different types of clouds, precipitation, and the water cycle.
In addition to studying weather, we've researched how animals adapt to their environments. Students have learned about physical and behavioral adaptations that help animals survive in their habitats, from camouflage to migration. A favorite activity of the month was our owl pellet dissection! Students were thrilled to carefully examine the pellets to uncover bones of small animals, gaining a deeper understanding of owl diets and the food chain.
Stay tuned for more enriching adventures in the upcoming months!
