2/8-2/11

This week in 2nd grade, despite many sicknesses, we managed to learn a lot! We celebrated Chinese New Year, built ramps as part of a STEM project, had guided writing to revise a paragraph from our President's day writing, and celebrated Valentine's Day with a class party.

Lots of creative ramps were designed
