Week of May 12th

Our 2nd grade botanists have been planting and observing bean seeds with different variables. They are answering the question, "How does _____ affect plant growth?" Students are investigating how different liquids, different amounts of water, different light sources, different soil, and different foods affect the growth of bean plants. Check out our plants on the Photo Gallery tab! Students worked hard in reading this week as they took the Spring Reading MAP test. It's amazing to see how much they've grown in reading. We started our Poetry writing unit this week. We continue to explore the various forms of poetry and students will be writing their own poems in a person poetry journal. Stay tuned to hear about our upcoming Poetry Cafe event in the Learning Studio! We had such an exciting week with end of year activities. Track and Field Day was on Thursday. It was a cold day but students worked hard and had a blast finishing all of their track and field events. Friday after school was the North Park barbecue. It was wonderful seeing families and friends with their students and enjoying great food! Thanks for coming!
