Week of March 18, 2013

2nd graders this week had fun dressing up for the different days of Spirit Week. We had hat day, Columbia Heights colors day, dress up day, wacky day, and pajama day. We are starting a new STEAM project, where students work with partners and choose a technology project to show what they will learn about plants. On Friday, we went to a music performance where we heard some Native American instruments and singing.

Week of March 11, 2013

After spending six weeks learning about the properties of solids and liquids and then applying our knowledge to making play dough, we have finished our STEAM projects! Each child has a technology creation that demonstrats some of the things we have learned. We spent each afternoon doing a STEAM Expo, where students were able to share their work with one another!

Week of March 4, 2013

This week we have been working hard to finish up our STEAM projects for our presentations next week. In math we started unit 7. We are learning about patterns and rules for adding, subtracting, and looking at data. It was a short week because of a snow day on Tuesday!
