Learning About Air

The students are learning about air and how the wind effects the weather by moving clouds and changing temperatures. They created a weather vane and observed how an anemometer works. They also played with bubbles to observe how the wind moved them and they could not control the direction that they blew in. Soon the students will take all they have learned to become meteorologists and report on the weather keeping a journal over two weeks. After the two weeks they will analyze the data to see how consistent or changing the weather was during that time.

Mystery Reader

We enjoyed a visit from Erik's dad who read us a variety of books included one about the Cubs! We enjoyed his expressions when he read which kept us laughing. One of our favorite second graders said he is a REALLY good reader! Thanks for being a mystery reader!

Our Wax Museum

A digital slideshow by Smilebox

The second graders put together our first wax museum! They researched a famous history maker, put together a cereal box type report, dressed in costume, wrote a speech, and created a banner. The museum opened for parents to visit and got rave reviews!

Air Resistance

We are learning about air in science. Our experiments have helped us observe how air is a force, invisible, a gas, and is everywhere. Soon we will become meteorologists and learn how air effects weather.

Mystery Reader

We had a mystery reader who brought a book written by a class of second graders! We loved the book and our special visitor!

Our PowerPoint Presentation

The students completed research for their nonfiction report using a variety of resources. They completed their nonfiction books and also a PowerPoint which they shared with their classmates. Mrs. Partyka was very impressed with how quickly they learned to use many of the features in the software and put together an impressive presentation that taught us about all the animals researched.

Our favorite second graders had a chance to show off their fabulous writing at this year's writers fair. The books published at home and their animal nonfiction books were on display. The students also enjoyed visiting the Scholastic Book Fair and seeing all the new titles.
