| In science this week, we discussed how earth changes slowly through erosion. To introduce this idea to the class, I asked them the question, "what is strong enough to break a rock?" After our discussion, we went outside and the kids attempted to see if they were strong enough to break rocks. |
 |
| In phonics, we learned and practiced syllables in words |
 |
| Observing a rock during a science experiment. We tested if water was strong enough to change a rock...it was! |
 |
| An erosion problem on our playground. How can we fix it?? |
 |
| On Friday, we got together with Mrs. Stanglein's preschool class to do a rescue mission. The goal was to rescue Rapunzel from her tower and get her safely to the ground. The 2nd graders and preschoolers did a great job of working together! |
 |
| Also on Friday, Mrs. Brockmeyer came to visit our classroom to teacher our class about "Rock my Way." This is an awesome program that can bring so much joy to people all over the world. The kids each got to paint a rock that they will be able to take home and use to spread some joy:) |
