Welcome spring!

We welcomed spring by reading about the life cycle of the chick.  We shared and discussed new vocabulary about this life cycle with our friends.


Following our discussion, we viewed a video and watched a real chick hatch!
We finished this short study with a visit from Bryanna's chicks!  These fluffy visitors helped us to put our learning into our own hands!  🐥

Bryanna, Lilly, and Son Hui taught us how to carefully hold their adorable chicks.
This was an afternoon filled with sweet smiles...
We ended with an opportunity to ask questions of Bryanna and Son Hui. Thank you for sharing your love of chickens with us!

The world according to second grade

Bryanna thought it would be a good idea to display our continent work as it would look in the real world. She even had friends help her include the equator and oceans!  Great idea Bryanna!

Continent Share

We partnered up with our first grade friends to share our continent posters. We worked hard to research the location of our continent and included a major river, three countries, a compass rose, a map key, and labeled surrounding oceans. They are amazing works of art!

Family Math Night

We learned math from one another!  Many families joined "The Wonderful Learners" for a family math night.  To start off the evening, the second graders solved a story problem in a variety of ways.

After that, the second graders taught their families how to play Roll-a-Square and Close to 20.

We regrouped at the end of the evening to discuss what we noticed when we played the games.

What an informative, insightful evening of math fun! ❤️
