Exploring Habitats

Submitted by sarah.ledingham on

2nd grade had a habitat day where they got to "explore" the different habitats. They learned about the polar regions, the desert, the wetlands, the grasslands, the mountainlands and the ocean. These exploring second graders learned about plants and animals that live in each habitat. Soon each student will become an expert on one of these animals and their habitat.

Kindergartners Unlocked Some Fun

Submitted by sarah.ledingham on

Mrs. Berns, the school's technology specialist, visited Kindergarten today and taught the students how to do a "breakout" session. In these sessions, the students must think critically and work together to solve problems and open locks. If the students successfully open all the locks, then they "break out" and win. The students loved the lesson and are excited to try another breakout session soon.

Goals!

Submitted by sarah.ledingham on

Second grade students learned about New Year's resolutions and how to set goals earlier this week! They set goals for what they would like to be able to do in the second half of second grade. Students thought about what they are going to be able to accomplish in reading, math, writing, and what they hope their class will be able to do. We hope you can come down the second grade hall and read some of our goals!
