It's great to see everyone back at school. First graders will begin to learn how to use Powerpoint while the other students will do some review work with this program. Fourth graders will also learn how to use Prezi and share some information about their 4th grade camp experience.
Second Grade Design Challenge
Second Graders have been learning about composting and the important job that worms have on our enviroment. We read the book, Diary of a Worm, by Doreen Cronin. Students had to design a structure to house their "gummy worm". It needed to have a roof to keep the rain off, a way to go in and out, and be sturdy enough to protect it from being stepped on. Students had no more than 10 craft sticks and 10 inches of tape. Heavy books were placed on the house to determine if it was sturdy enough. Look at all the lovely designs.
