We are very excited about the Olympics in room 3. We are learning a lot about where they are being held and the different winter events. We created Olympic hats and held a math Olympics. Watch our video to see what we had to do at the Math Olympics!

Snow Fun!

It has been a long winter with lots of cold and snow in Chicago. The students often don't get outside for recess because of the temperature. When they do go out, they have the BEST time. Mrs. Bolcum our lunch supervisor, took this picture of one group of happy second graders playing in the snow!

After lots of experimenting with balancing, wheel and axel systems, and air resistance, the students were ready to use their knowledge to create the best runway system (rollercoaster) they could. It was exciting to watch the teamwork and creativity of each group in the process.

Mystery Reader

Thank you Mrs. Moyer for being a mystery reader! We loved the book "Lousy Rotten Stinkin Grapes" by Palatini. It was perfect as we have been learning about fables. We enjoyed the illustrations and loved joining in on the reading of the book. Thank you for visiting us!

One of our favorite times of the day is morning reading time. Check out the pictures from our plays based on fables and some other favorite pictures from reading time.

Mystery Reader

We love having mystery readers! Mrs. Barot read to us a biography on Martin Luther King and an adorable, new book about a lost hat. Thank you for visiting our class!

Multiplication Fun

Multiplication can be fun to learn when playing a card game of matching arrays. The students also created their own multiplication number stories where they showed equal groups of objects. Both arrays and pictures of objects can help students visualize why we use multiplication.
