Second grade students had a blast learning all about plants! We started our hydroponics project explaining how those plants will have everything they need to survive. Then, we planted grass seeds and made houses along with yards to have hands-on experience learning about what a plant needs to survive and tending to their plants. Students also learned how seeds are dispersed through wind and water. Plant care is something these students will always remember.
Third grade has implemented our rocket ship for multiplication. At the end of the year, each student can earn prizes when they watch a movie. Mrs. Miller is a great artist and created our rocket ship.
For the last two weeks, students have worked on their benchmark testing. In reading our students have been working on themes, making connections, and comparing and contrasting. In math, we are working on fractions, multiplication, and area. Grammar includes looking at, creating, and identifying adjectives in reading and writing. In Social Studies, students learn about themes of geography by using physical and human characteristics. Science is a big hit with our third graders because of all the fun hands-on experiments. Students experimented with balloon-powered cars for a deeper understanding of Newton’s three laws of motion.
