I’m sensing a great lesson on responsibility and cleaning up coming soon!

Working on data collecting, turning it into fractions, then creating pie charts to see what fractions look like!

After examining our limited resources and creating a plan, production on our marketplace goods is underway! Three day deadline until shop day Friday!

It was so special to be back at St. Charles today. @beechwood_tiger second graders did their musical as an outdoor concert for the residents. Their smiles and cheers were magical. #wearebeechwood @mrhensleysecond @mrsahlers2nd @MrsJustice2nd

Taking a look at and comparing world currency!

Measurements, charts, Google Sheets, graphs! Explicit instruction is crucial in so many areas of education! And the outcomes are (generally) amazing!

We’re having a great time creating mosaics and reflecting on how e pluribus unum reflects the United States! #ckla #secondgrade

Having fun drawing our interpretations of the Jabberwocky. Hearing rationalizations for what a Jubjub bird is, is rather hilarious.

Thinking of ways Stuart Little can be able to use the sink instead of hitting the knob with a hammer! #secondgrade #stuartlittle @BeechwoodEDGE

Diagramming body systems to review structures and functions this morning! #secondgrade #ckla #science

After learning about the excretory system, we wrote letters to our kidneys, thanking them for keeping us clean and safe! #ckla #science #secondgrade

Today we looked at filtration and how our bodies are experts at removing germs, bacteria, and waste. #ckla #science #secondgrade

Building organ systems and using Seesaw to share their functions!

Microscope day! Magnifying leaves and paper to take a closer look at our microscopic world! #ckla #secondgrade #science

Magnifying glasses, fossils, glitter, shark teeth?? Thank you Anton von Leeuwenhoek! #ckla #science #secondgrade

We are doing so great with Creating new GoogleDocs, adding images, and editing our writing based on comments! #ckla #google #secondgrade

We love #ckla built-in review days to give us more time to understand and wrestle with our content! Venn Diagram sprints were a success! #secondgrade #literacy #civilwar

Enjoying a reading of Little Brown Boy by Robert Marshall thanks to the @freedomcenter

Like every day, we reinforce our lessons by writing, today about the Battle of Fort Sumter, discussing how wars begin, and learning words like secede and government. #ckla #civilwar #secondgrade

Today begins our history unit of the Civil War. A lot of interest and great questions for our story of Harriet Tubman today! #ckla #secondgrade #civilwar
