AMAZING APRIL

Recently, second graders experienced a solar eclipse and wrote about what they learned. Fourth graders presented their solar system research projects to the second grade students. They learned about various planets, black holes, and objects in the sky. Great job fourth grade!

Second graders are learning about democracy and have studied the symbolism of our flag and the meaning of behind the Pledge of Allegiance. Each student wrote a summary of the pledge and we created our own abstract version of our country’s flag. They learned the meanings of words like liberty, justice, united, and indivisible.

Students have learned to measure and estimate length using customary and metric units. Students are challenged to use what they know to solve problems posted around the classroom. This activity is completed during a small group rotation called “Workshop”. They also practice weekly spelling patterns using dry erase markers on their desks.
