Preparing for our U.S. Symbol Presentations
Prior to our final presentations, the groups rehearsed how they would present.
There were many decisions to make:
Where should we stand?
Who should share which fact?
How loud do we need to speak for the audience to learn from us?

iPad Teamwork
We're learning together on the iPads!
We played a game called "Bluster" that helped us to find and learn about synonyms.
Look for the app at home or the library - it's free!

Personal Narratives
We have completed our first personal narrative!
The learners transformed from planners to writers to editors and finally, illustrators!
We have enjoyed reading them during literacy time.

Geology Learning
As a close to our unit, we created a non-fiction poster to show what we have learned about the layers of the Earth. We included a title, labels, and captions to share our newly learned facts.
The second grade worked beautifully together!
Our hard work will be up for you at Open House!
We also wrote geology acrostic poems using our non-fiction resources.

Level of Hardness Experiment
Following our rock share and exploration, we tested their hardness.
We use our fingernail, a penny and a nail.
We looked carefully to see if there were any scratches, chips or evidence of being scratched.
We used a table to keep track of our rock data.
