The new year brings about new groups in STEAM and a review of our North Park rules. Our new STEAM groups spent a little time getting to know one another in the "Cup Challenge." The students had to get six cups into the shape of a pyramid without using their hands. With collaboration and perseverance, they met the challenge head on!
We will be spending the next few weeks reviewing rules and CARES (Cooperation, Assertion, Responsibility, Empathy and Self-Control). This week we focused on cooperation with peers and adults. A favorite cooperative activity this week was the Spider Web greeting.
The second graders have been busy exploring solids and liquids and learning about their properties. One activity was to think like engineers and design the tallest, or strongest, or most beautiful tower with some solid objects. The students shared why they chose certain objects for the top and bottom of their tower.
