THANKFUL

Second graders helped host a Thanksgiving Chili Feast with all the Lower School families and it was a great event. Students performs short poems, songs, and told the audience what they were thankful for this year. Second graders sang a song of thanks to their parents and did an excellent job remembering the words!

The recent cooler weather brought about some creativity and collaboration on the playground. For the past two weeks students from all grade levels have worked tirelessly to create many types of structures using sticks they collected and a cluster of trees on the Lower School playground. Watching the kids problem solve, work together, adjust their strategies when they needed to, and tap into their outdoor-play creativity has been very rewarding to the teachers and students.

Second grade is erupting with fun! Students have studied ways the surface of the Earth can change quickly and over long periods of time. They learned what makes the Earth shake, glaciers are like rivers of ice, and volcanoes can be destructive and creative. We had a little fun in class and modeled creative volcanic eruptions in class.
